Do any of you remember back to your childhood and have distinct memories of certain recipes your mom used to cook? It is amazing how we can have such vivid and strong memories that are linked to food. The other day I had some leftover hot dogs from a family bbq and I decided to surprise my husband with a lunch from his past. To his disappointment this meal/recipe hasn’t made it to our table/menu in the 10 1/2 years we have been married. You wouldn’t believe the smile on his face when I walked into the office with his childhood favorite recipe–Potato Logs. These potato filled hot dogs are just as unusual as his family’s pork n’ bean sandwiches, but for some reason the nostalgia tastes as good as the actual meal!

If you need to cook the peppers and hide them in the meat mixture so your kids will eat them, then cook them up with the beef and onions) Put sliced tomatoes on top and smother the top of the sandwich with cheese. Bake until cheese is melted at 350.

Haha, this is a great post. Shepard's Pie definitely comes to mind when I think back. I recently made it for the first time in my 14 year marriage and it was a hit for most. Another strange thing my mom did was melt cheese in the bottom of a cooking dish in the broiler and that was a side dish, just melted cheese! We loved it! 😀
LOVE IT!!!! I grew up on hot dogs, potatoes and cheese too! Minus the mustard… The first time I made it after I was married my husband was absolutely disgusted! He never has acquired a taste for it but i still love it and so does my daughter!
We do the same thing, except with Bologna and call it "flying saucers" It is a kid pleaser every time!!!
The hot dogs remind me of a camp recipe. I think I might skip the mustard but I have to say those do look like tasty comfort food!
You must share the pork and bean sandwiches too!!
My family of 7 all loved this "odd" dish. A bit like shepards pie and a bit like fried potatoes and wieners. Thanks for sharing…not too often that all 7 of us can agree on food…yummy.
