Equipment

  • large rectangle cutting board (I used a 15"x20")
  • small star cookie cutter

Ingredients

  • 15 hot dog buns
  • 15 hot dogs bun length
  • 1 bag blue tortilla chips
  • 3 slices white cheese
  • ketchup

Instructions

  • Cook the hot dogs.
  • Put the hot dogs in buns and place on the cutting board. For our 15"x20" board we made three rows of 3 hot dogs, and three rows of 2 hot dogs. Depending on the size of your cutting board this may differ, you may be able to use more or less hot dogs. The important thing is to start with a rectangular cutting board regardless of overall size.

Notes

Just make sure to add your ketchup a few minutes prior to serving or allow your guest to add their ketchup themselves.
