This recipe is a classic. I served it on a lazy night with homemade mac and cheese and a salad. Of course, there was ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping.

    Always a hit with the kids! I liked the idea of cutting the hot dogs and putting the cheese down the middle. I used American cheese, reduced-fat crescent rolls and reduced-fat hot-dogs. The kids enjoyed dipping them in mustard and ketchup. Thanx!

    Thank you, BarbaraK...Made these tonight and the kids loved them! Ate the whole batch! Very simple to make, and the crescent roll dough is a little sweet anyway, and I offered them a wide range of dipping sauces, which tickled them to have so many choices...Thanks for posting - this is a keeper for my family!
