Hot Dogs, Noodles and Tomatoes

my mom has made this for years, as adults my brothers and sister still make, and it is a favorite of all the grandkids. we haven't met anyone yet who has heard of this, but it is good. also works with kielbasa, but hot dogs are the way mom made it, we never measured, just threw together what looked right, so this is fairly approximate, as are number of servings, can also use bow tie pasta for this, actually we prefer it
