I've made this casserole several times and it's always a hit. I like to use a combination of cheddar and mozzarella cheese. I also like to add some diced tomatoes and green chiles to the macaroni and cheese mixture.

I'm always looking for new ways to use up leftover macaroni and cheese. This casserole is a great way to do that. I like to add some vegetables to the macaroni and cheese mixture, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or peas.

This casserole was a disaster! The macaroni and cheese was watery and flavorless, and the hot dogs were rubbery. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I thought this casserole was just okay. The macaroni and cheese was bland, and the hot dogs were a bit tough. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of cheese and hot dog.

This casserole was a bit too rich for my taste. The macaroni and cheese was very creamy and heavy, and the hot dogs were a bit greasy. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less cheese and hot dogs.
