Ingredients

  • 1 package of Twinkies
  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 4 hot dogs
  • Mustard
  • Ketchup
  • Relish
  • Optional toppings: diced onions, shredded cheese

Directions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your grill or a skillet on medium heat.

  4. Step 4: Once the hot dogs are fully cooked, place each one inside a Twinkie pocket.
  5. Step 5: Place the Twinkies with hot dogs back on the grill or skillet, with the pocket side down, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the Twinkies are lightly toasted and warmed.
  6. Step 6: Remove the Twinkie Wiener Sandwiches from the heat and transfer them to the hot dog buns.
  7. Step 7: Serve with your choice of condiments such as mustard, ketchup, relish, diced onions, or shredded cheese. Enjoy!
