Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Large hamburger buns
• Hot dogs
• Sharp knife
• Cutting board
• Butter, softened
• Ketchup
• Mayonnaise
• Pickle relish
• Mustard

1. Cut each hot dog lengthwise into several long, thin slices with a sharp knife.

2. Score each hot dog strip about three times with the tip of the knife, but be careful not to cut clear through the hot dog.

3. Cook the hot dog strips in the microwave or in boiling water until they begin to curl.

4. Spread a small amount of butter on each hamburger bun and place the buns on a baking sheet. Place the buns under the oven broiler for a few seconds, until they're lightly toasted. Watch carefully, because the broiler will turn the buns from toasted to burned very quickly.

5. Put several hot dog "worms" on each hot bun and arrange them on a large platter.

6. Serve the worms on a bun with ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish or any other condiments you desire.

Tips & Warnings

• Worms on a bun can also be made with chicken or turkey hot dogs. If you are vegetarian, make worms on a bun with some meat-free hot dogs.
