Recipe Instructions

Step 1

When your child is ready for lunch, they can take the hot hot dog out of the container and place it on the bun. Top with ketchup, mustard, and cheese to make a hot lunch from home.

Step 2

Gather all ingredients.

Step 3

Prepare your child's lunch box by packing hot dog bun, ketchup, mustard, and Cheddar cheese.

Step 4

Preheat your child's insulated beverage container by filling it with boiling water. Let stand for 15 to 20 minutes. I put the kettle on when I get up and let it heat while the kids get ready for school. Right before they leave, dump out water and replace with more boiling water. The preheating keeps it hot for a longer time. Place hot dog into the water and close the lid.
