Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the crushed red pepper, onions and green peppers and sweat until the onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the beef, season with salt and pepper and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, hot dogs and 1/2 cup water and cook until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.
  2. For the hot dog build: On each fresh brat roll, place a hot dog, then some meat sauce, Parmesan, bacon bits, peas and shoestring potatoes. Top with a drizzle of yellow mustard.
