My Hot Diggity Dog Mac & Cheese image

Creamy mac-n-cheese combined with hot dogs, my oh my. This will be a hit with kiddos - big and small! With a hint of nutmeg, the mac-n-cheese alone was delish. Adding the hot dogs makes this a fun dinner! We baked it up in a 9x13 baking dish.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my mac and cheese turned out really watery. I think I must have added too much milk.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover hot dogs. I always have a few leftover after a cookout, and this is a delicious way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly and my mac and cheese turned out really dry. I think I must have added too much flour. Other than that, the flavor was great.
