Hot Dog Casserole

My mother-in-law told me about a casserole she used to make in 40s – 50s.

It consisted of:

• hot dogs
• mixed vegetables
• tomato sauce
• potatoes

mixed and baked.

She no longer remembers the recipe as to how much –  just the ingredients.

(editor’s note:  Does anyone remember a similar recipe?  If so, how did you make it?)

From The Hillbilly Housewife:

I read through the responses we’ve gotten so far and the following seems to be the closest recipe. It uses ketchup instead of tomato sauce. Looks like a very kid-friendly recipe and I’m looking forward to trying it.

Recipe from Kerissa (see comments below)

1 lb. hot dogs, cut in 1 inch pieces.
1 Tbsp. onion, diced

Fry together until lightly browned. Mix together and add:

2 cups milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup ketchup

Cook until slightly thickened. Add:
1 can corn
1/2 can peas

Put in casserole dish and top with mashed potatoes. Bakes at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
