When I was little, I would take a cold hot dog for lunch. No bun, I think? Maybe I invented low-carb! (Also maybe I had goldfish crackers on the side.)

Hot dogs are excellent cooked in butter! But it's not necessary, really.
I'm suddenly craving cut up hot dogs in Spaghettios.
I used to boil hot dogs, until I first tasted bratwurst and switched to grilling that instead.
Mom used to cook the dogs dry in a cast-iron skillet, but she'd also throw buttered buns in the pan, so there was some additional grease. Noms, though (as far as hot dogs are noms - I enjoy them, but only so much).
For mac & cheese I'd much rather use kielbasa or something similar than hot dogs.
My mom put sliced up hot dogs in lentil soup. Now, I use kielbasa for a slighty more spicy yumminess.
Microwave. If I'm going to the trouble of grilling, I'm using something better.
My mom put hot dogs in split pea soup. We called it "hot dog soup."
Brenda, how do you keep them from exploding?
My mom would always cut up hot dogs, fry the pieces a little bit, and then scramble eggs with them. It might be objectively disgusting, but I love it because it was yummy kid food.
