Some of us tend to be gourmands rather than gourmets at times. When those moments strike, it's nice to pull up to a big ol' plate of something very tasty that might not be all that healthy. And if some of those dishes evoke a general feeling of trailer-parkishness, so be it!
That brings me to hot dog mac, an awesome Rachael Ray recipe that even the least coordinated cook can whip up in 30 minutes or less. It is a quintessentially American meal featuring hot dogs, cheese, mustard, ketchup and even beer. All in one dish.
Some may think it a little on the trashy side. Others will term it comfort food and attempt to put into a large social context. I just call it a darn good Rachael Ray recipe and ask for seconds!
Someone else seems to agree. It may be trashy, but it sure is tasty!
On second thought, I don't know that it should be called trashy. Maybe it's just American and lacks pretension. We are a people with a short history, a love of excess, and a desire for fattening food packed with so much flavor overkill most of the world cannot believe it. We like hot dogs, apple pie, Chevrolets, paintball guns, pet dogs, goofy t-shirts and horrible action movies. That's just who we are.
I betcha if Rachael Ray had Lee Greenwood on her show, he'd sing "I'm Proud to be an American" and then request some of her hot dog mac. And if she was serving it clad in the getup she wore for those famous FHM pics, so much the better!
