Thanks to Benedictine University Dietetic Intern Allison Balocca for sharing this recipe.

4 hot dog buns (not split)
1/2 cup pizza sauce or pasta sauce
2 cups shredded cheese
16 pepperoni slices
4 pretzel twists
16 stick pretzels
16 cucumber circles

Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Using a steak knife, remove the insides of the hot dog bun. Cut a little spot for the pretzel steering wheel. Using a spoon put a little bit of the pizza sauce inside the bun. Add the four pepperoni slices and then some shredded cheese. Place into the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven. Poke cucumber circles with pretzel to make the car wheels. Poke the cucumber wheels into the buns. Place a curly pretzel at the front of the bun to make a steering wheel.

Serves 4
