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 :)
