id like to give this 5 stars, but useign the whole can of soup i had to double up the sugar, vinegar and worcestershire to get the flavor i was expecting - but it was what i was hopeing for. i dont like onions or peppers so i just put in some onion powder - i tried to get it to thicken up alittle by cooking an extra 5 minutes uncovered - but it was still sorta soupy - next time ill decrease the water - but thats not the recipes fault there was an extra 4 tbsp of liquid because of adding the extra vinegar and worchesshire sauce - just my prefrence. It was a bit of a mess because of how soupy it was, but hey.. its hotdogs

I haven't seen this recipe since the 70s! It's a great recession buster for my family table. Instead of serving it in buns I serve it over wide egg noodles.

I made these franks and they wes delisc! And so very easy. The "hardest" part was getting the ingredients together...hhahahaha. There was a bit more sauce than I thought necessary, but that worked out fine. I used the extra sauce to poach some boneless chicken breasts I had in the freezer. They were perfect. Now I have a new recipe! Thank you. Lee
