Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Half Smokes

    Start by cooking the Half Smokes according to the package instructions. You can grill, boil, or pan-fry them based on your preference.

  2. 2

    Heat the Chili Sauce

    In a small saucepan, pour the chili sauce and heat it over medium heat until it is warm and bubbly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Toast the Hot Dog Rolls

    While the Half Smokes and chili are cooking, place the gourmet hot dog rolls on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes or until they are lightly golden.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Mustard and Onions

    In small bowls, pour out the French's Classic Yellow Mustard. Rehydrate the dehydrated onions by soaking them in warm water for about 10 minutes, then drain.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Half Smokes

    Once the Half Smokes are cooked, place each one into a toasted hot dog roll. Top with a generous spoonful of warm chili sauce, a drizzle of mustard, and a sprinkle of rehydrated onions.

  6. 6

    Serve and Enjoy

    Serve the assembled Half Smokes immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious meal!
