Welcome to Wiener Wednesday!
DiS1972 reader Dana is a good friend of the blog and submitted this recipe (with a boatload of other hot dog gems) for my consideration.
I picked this recipe because of the adorable illustrations and the whimsical name, Snow Caps (although it was tough to pass on something called 20th Century Wieners).
Topped with some instant mashed potatoes and American cheese product:
And out of the oven:
The verdict: This recipe isn’t reinventing the wheel (For another hot dog/potato/cheese combo, check out Hot Dog Smores from 2021, THE SUMMER OF FRANKS!). But it was very easy and very yummy!
Thanks for the recipe, Dana!

Can’t believe I missed this! I love my Cutco knives (and the kitchen shears that can cut a penny in half!). Snow Caps looks like a pretty tasty dinner. I find the stuffing part of the broiled stuffed wieners intriguing — that’s asking a lot of a hot dog!
It is my belief that people were afraid of flavors before the advent of a more global society. Flavors were things those OTHER people ate. Add in the fact that the two most influential European cultures on early America were German and English — not known for their rapturous heights of culinary genius — and it’s relatively easy to figure out.
1/8 teaspoon of dried basil. Like that really makes a difference? These old recipes really trip me out with the minimal amounts of spices and onion/garlic they used.
Why was everyone so afraid of flavor?
I sold Cutco knives for one summer in high school! Or rather, I tried. I think I made $40 the whole summer.
You were going door to door with knives???
