As a bonus tip: if you've got some leftover hotdog buns, they can be repurposed with reasonable effectiveness into French toast. Just remember to slice off the very top of the bun if they're side-split, or if you use top-split buns, then all you have to do is slice off the very edge from the buns that were at the edges of their pans. You need exposed bread crumb to soak in the custard more effectively. The soft and slightly sweet hotdog buns are great for French toast and you almost always have leftover buns because of the intentional mismatch between the number of units in hotdog packs and bun packs. In the case of my family, we typically end up with an even higher incidence of this, as leftover hotdogs frequently end up chopped and added to baked beans, so finding a good use for the leftover buns is a real bonus. Other, other bonus tip: if you don't have a preferred butcher that makes good hotdogs in your area but you happen to live nearby a Lowe's Foods, check and see if your location has a Sausage Works. Their sausages and particularly their Franktacular hotdogs are excellent.
