Hot Dog Casserole

As weird as this dish sounds it was a family favorite growing up. I came from a large family with 8 kids, so cheap meals was a must. There have been times if I get things on sale and with the use of coupons have been able to fix this dish for $1. Also instead of pouring the soup mixture over everything I like to mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and then pour it in a greased casserole dish. I just like everything to get evenly coated.
