RECIPE: Dirty Hot Dog Fry #KitchenClearout

What's this, two food posts in as many days? I've not done that for several years now. It must be the cooler weather making me hungry.



Our fridge is SO overcrowded at the moment with the lovely veg from the garden, so some decluttering of the odds and ends was in order. A fridge dive yielded


Four frankfurters, a few rashers of bacon, half a punnet of mushrooms and a cold leftover jacket potato.
I added two onions and a tablespoon of sunflower oil.

Slice the onions and mushrooms, chop the bacon and cut the franks and potato into bite sized chunks.

Heat the oil over moderate heat in a large frying pan and fry the onions for about 5 minutes until softened, then stir in the bacon and continue to cook until everything is starting to brown. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Mix in the potatoes and frankfurter pieces and carry on cooking over a low heat for 5-6 minutes until everything is heated through.


Those few ingredients suddenly look as if they are going to feed a whole army!

To complete the "Dirty Hot Dog" experience I slathered both ketchup and American style yellow mustard over my portion. It was delicious - and a lot less stodgy than a hot dog served in a traditional bread roll.


This is my recipe for the Kitchen Clearout linky at Madhouse Family Reviews - a great place to find and share fabulously frugal food that might otherwise have gone to waste.

This looks like perfect food for the kids - and I'm pretty sure I have most of that in the fridge or the freezer ! Thanks for linking up :)
