Fast and yummy! I coarsely chopped the olives in the food processor and only used five hot dogs, so they were overflowing, but I think that made them even better. I baked them in the oven and they cooked nicely--buns toasty and dogs piping hot. We could really taste the horseradish (we used Atomic brand) but not the mustard and tabasco, though they probably contributed to the zippy flavor. This was great for us, but I'd like to make it for the kids without the seasonings, and also experiment with other fillings since this is a nifty all-in-one cooking technique.
