No, I'm not just gunning for the most ridiculous post title. This is the name of an actual recipe out of the Pillsbury Kids Cookbook. Blonde Girl's Son received it as a gift last Christmas (or maybe the one before?) and we have already made the Monster Burger recipe, so Silly Snake Dogs was the logical next step. There are fairly reasonable recipes (most involving some Pillsbury product), but of course Monster Burgers and Silly Snake Dogs are WAY more fun!
There isn't much of a recipe, besides wrapping your dogs in a tube of your favorite prepackage breadstick dough and crafting snake tongues from red bell peppers. Also, some melted cheese product is required for attaching the currants used for eyes. What we are going to do with the remaining block of Velveeta, I have no idea. 
I'm imagining some green chile queso dip? 
Blonde Girl's Son definitely enjoyed them. We substituted grass fed all beef dogs for the specified "cheese filled hot dogs" and the end product was pretty tasty.

Also, in the interest of equal coverage, Monster Burger pic as well.

The Silly Snake Dogs look very tasty. By the time you cook your way through the book, you will have a whole menagerie of edible creatures. As for the velveeta cheese, you can use it in Philly Steak Sandwiches (it is not the liquid cheese that is normally used. but melted it is close). Or you can make grilled cheese sandwiches. Growing up, that was what was served in our household. The cheese melts well.
ReplyDeleteI have no children in my life...but will be making these for myself because they look AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I would prefer is something besides the Velveeta for the snake dogs and the American cheese slices on the monster burger. I'm not a big fan of cheese-like products.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Sebastian's gonna be getting some Snake Dogs in the near future!
ReplyDeleteFound both recipes at Pillsbury's website, links added to the post. Enjoy!
