Ingredients

  • 1 package (1 pound) hot dog
  • 1 package Betty Crocker™ Suddenly Salad® classic pasta salad mix
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 ounces process cheese spread loaf, shredded (1 cup)
  • 1 cup shoestring potatoes, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Make 1/4-inch-deep diagonal slashes 1/2 inch apart in each hot dog. Grill hot dogs uncovered 4 to 5 inches from medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, turning frequently, until hot and slashes begin to open. Cut completely through slashes. Refrigerate hot dog pieces.
  • 2
    Empty Pasta mix into 3-quart saucepan 2/3 full of boiling water. Gently boil uncovered 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 3
    Stir together Seasoning mix, oil and cold water in large bowl; set aside.
  • 4
    Drain pasta; rinse with cool water. Shake to drain well. Stir pasta, hot dog pieces and remaining ingredients into seasoning mixture. Serve immediately, or refrigerate.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Prevent sticking by gradually adding pasta to rapidly boiling water and stirring, then stirring occasionally during cooking.
  • tip 2
    Grilling adds wonderful flavor to this pasta salad, but in a pinch, simply cut hot dogs as directed in the recipe and cook as directed on the package.
