Pastry Hot Dog

The Spit Fire Hotdog Wrapped In Pastry is the ultimate compromise between a lazy and a lavish campfire dinner recipe. You can keep it simple or add any and all twists to make it the perfect expression of you...for your tummy.

Hot dogs have always been our fallback when we want to cook over the campfire but aren't up to a big production. But what if we want to cook over the campfire and have a mini production?

Kids can stick with their boring dogs while you can hunt down the hickory smoked sausage with gourmet catsup.
