Ingredients

3 bun-length hot dogs (See Tip 1)
1 package of Hawaiian rolls (package of 12)
2 Tablespoons Yellow mustard (See Tip 2)
½ Tablespoon melted butter
¾ cup Monterey Jack cheese (See Tip 3)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a quarter sheet pan with nonstick aluminum foil.
Cut the bun-length hot dogs into four pieces, each slightly under 1 ½ inches.
Place the Hawaiian rolls on the prepared sheet pan, keeping the rolls attached.
Use a serrated knife to cut a shallow rectangular cavity into the top of each roll, about ¾ of the way down, without cutting through the sides or the bottom. Remove the center; gently press down the interior of each roll to form a well.
Add around ½ teaspoon of mustard to each of the cavities; top with a piece of hot dog.
Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F for 15 minutes.
Remove the aluminum foil; sprinkle each roll with 1 tablespoon of the shredded cheese. Return to the oven, uncovered for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve warm with your favorite condiments like chili, relish, coleslaw, ketchup, mustard, chopped onions, etc. (See Tip 4)
Yield: 12 Hot Dog Slider Boats.

Notes

Bun-length hot dogs are typically between 5 ½ and 6 inches in length. This length is perfect for cutting the hot dogs into four pieces.
I like to use a squirt bottle of mustard to easily add the mustard to the cavities of the rolls.
Feel free to substitute cheddar, American, or Pepper Jack cheese for the Monterey Jack cheese.
Use your imagination with the different condiments.
Allow leftovers to come to room temperature. Then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until warmed through. Consider adding a sprinkle of cheese before warming.
