It's Throwback Thursday and tonight one of my favorite shows is on TV... The Big Bang Theory.
I am a big fan of the show, but what does Spaghetti with Hot Dogs have to do with a TV show? Well one of the characters on the show (Sheldon) who is a genius has a favorite childhood meal... Spaghetti with Hot Dogs.
They have mentioned this dish twice since I have watched the show and I had to try it out. I made my version here... and to tell you the truth... It was great. :) You can use what ever kind of hot dogs you like: beef, chicken, pork or even tofu. Just spend a little extra money and get a good quality hot dog that is made with good ingredients.
This is a great week night one pot dinner that comes together fast. I also highly recommend the raw garnish of onions and peppers. It compliments the meal perfectly.
