Wiener Worms - Halloween Recipe

It isn’t uncommon for families to eat hot dogs, or wieners, from time to time throughout

the year. They’re quick and easy to prepare especially when you’re rushed for time.

This Halloween, why not surprise your family by serving Weiner Worms instead of

traditional hot dogs?

You can serve these in a bun or just pup them on a plate as an appetizer with

condiments for dipping.

•

Enough hot dogs (100% beef seem to work best) for each person

•

A sharp knife

•

A cutting board

•

Your favorite condiments – Ketchup, Mustard, Mayonnaise and/or Pickle Relish

Place the hot dogs on the cutting board and cut each one down the middle creating two

halves. Next, depending upon the size of the hot dogs, you will want to either cut each

half in either half again or in thirds. Set the hot dogs aside as you finish each one.

 

 

 

 

Some people score the hot dogs to encourage them to curl more. You can do this by

carefully scoring one edge of the hot dog; however, you don’t want to go all the way

through the hot dog.

You can cook your Weiner Worms by microwaving, boiling or grilling them. In the image

below, they’re being boiled and curl naturally.

 

 

Some people love grilled hot dogs but remember, the hot dogs are very thin and may

fall through the grill unless they are placed perpendicular on the grill. As the hot dogs

cook, no matter which method you use, they will begin to curl and look like worms.

 

 

 

 

 Serve warm with your favorite condiments.
