WIENIES (HOT DOGS) CREOLE
This recipe goes WAY back to my childhood. My Mother found it in a woman's magazine, and it became a family staple. My older sister used to come home, from college, and ask my Mom to make it, just because she LOVED the aroma in the house, when it was cooking. I was so happy the day my newly married daughter called me, and asked me for the recipe, so she could make it for her husband. THEN, not too long after that, my son called and asked, for it, because he wanted to make it for his wife! That's three generations making this for their families. The recipe has evolved a bit, since I was a little girl, but only for the better. I must admit, that many children pick out the bell pepper slices, but that's OK. For me, it isn't Wienies Creole without the bell peppers.

Tips for Making Grandma's Hot Dog Creole:
- Choose the right hot dogs. All-beef hot dogs with a good snap are ideal for this recipe. Avoid using pre-cooked hot dogs, as they will not hold up well in the sauce.
- Slice the hot dogs diagonally. This will help them cook evenly and absorb more of the sauce.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the sauce from burning.
- Brown the hot dogs before adding the sauce. This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
- Use a flavorful Creole sauce. There are many different recipes for Creole sauce, so choose one that you enjoy. A good Creole sauce should have a balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors.
- Simmer the hot dogs in the sauce until they are heated through. This will allow the flavors of the sauce to meld with the hot dogs.
- Serve the hot dogs over rice or mashed potatoes. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
