I just skimmed through the first page of posts so someone may have already posted this.
Most I saw used lil smokies. We always used hot dogs and cresent rolls. Whatever kind of hot dogs you like. I like Oscar Mayer Beef Weiners. You can also use the ones with cheese inside already. I grew up with my mom putting a slit in the side of the hot dog and putting a piece of cheddar cheese in. Roll in a crescent roll and bake. Our favorite sides are baked beans and mac & cheese.
