Third Generation Kid-Friendly Recipe

I admit, when I was first introduced to this meal as an adult, it sounded gross. It came from my husband's grandma and passed down through the generations. It wasn't bad and has since grown on me. Nearly 15 years later, it has become a "comfort food" in our house. It's easy, quick, and cheap, and I always have the ingredients on hand.

You can easily adjust the measurements to suit your needs. This is about what I use to feed my family of 5. Sometimes I have leftovers, sometimes I don't. My kids have named it:

Macaroni Hot Dog Stuff

2 cups uncooked macaroni noodles
1 pack of hot dogs, sliced
1 Tbsp butter
6 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste

Boil water and cook the macaroni until al dente. While it's cooking, saute the slice hot dogs in the butter. Whisk eggs in a separate bowl. Add the cooked and drained macaroni to the hot dogs and saute a few minutes longer. Finally, add the eggs and mix until everything is coated. Continue to stir until the eggs are cooked and no longer glossy. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot!
