Leftover Hot Dog Buns???

I had TONS of them leftover from our Halloween Party and just couldn't bring myself to let them go to waste...so I used every one of them this week...and we had eight packages!! Here are the recipes. They are all REALLY good too! You won't get sick of all of the hot dog buns either...lol.

Tune Melts:
2 cans chunk white tuna, drained
4 hard boiled eggs, peeled and diced
1/3 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
1/3 cup sweet or dill relish (whichever you like)
1/2 cup cheddar
1/3 cup mayo (fat free)
salt and pepper to taste
8 hot dog or hamburger buns

Mix all ingredients (except buns!) in a largish bowl, gently, so the cheese mixes in evenly.

Open the buns, and put them in a baking pan, about 9x13. divide the mixture evenly between the buns, close the buns, and top the baking dish with foil.

Bake them in a 375F oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the buns are toasted/crunchy when you press on them.

Cinnamon Toast

Split hot dog buns in half.
Put 3 dabs of butter on each bun...then sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top of each bun. Broil in over for about 2 minutes or until sugar/butter mixture is bubbling.
YUM!!!!

Sausage/Onion/Pepper Sandwiches

These were a BIG hit! My husband asked that I make these again soon!

1 beef sausage link sliced
1 small onion chopped
1 bell pepper chopped
cheddar cheese.....about 1/2 cup
olive oil
pepper
cajun seasoning

Saute sausage in a tbsp olive oil for about 5 -7 minutes or until hot and browning....add onion and bell pepper...saute about 5 more minutes until onion and peppers are soft. Add pepper and cajun season for flavor...you can add as much as you want depending on how much spice you want.

Open hot dog buns and place sausage mixture in each bun....top with shredded cheddar cheese. Add sandwiches to a baking sheet and broil in oven long enough to melt the cheese...and toast the buns...about 2 minutes! ENJOY! These are REALLY good:-)

Garlic Bread

Split buns in half...spread soft butter on each bun....sprinkle garlic powder, Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese on top. Broil for about 2 minutes until cheese melts and bread browns a little. GOOD!!!!

Butter Roll Bites
Spread soft butter on each bun....broil for about 2 minutes....Cut each bun into a bite size piece. These are a great substitution for rolls:-)

There are TONS more that you could try...these are just a few I tried and really enjoyed them all! It's a great way to use up extra stuff that would normally just sit around and go bad:-)
