Instructions
-
Cook Pasta: Boil pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
-
Sauté Hotdog Mixture: Heat butter or oil in a hot pan, add sliced hotdogs, and sauté until they develop a golden crust. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Add the chopped bell peppers and onions, sauté until softened, then mix in ketchup and barbecue sauce. Stir until everything is well combined, and set aside.
-
Prepare Béchamel Sauce: In a pot, whisk together milk and flour until smooth (off the heat). Turn on medium-low heat and stir continuously until the sauce thickens. Add salt, pepper, paprika, a bouillon cube, and a handful of mozzarella cheese for added flavor.
-
Layer the Dish: In a baking dish, spread a layer of béchamel, add pasta, and cover with the hotdog mixture. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Repeat with another layer of pasta and finish with a generous layer of béchamel and cheese on top.
-
Bake: Bake in a preheated oven and for the last 10 minutes, turn on the broiler to get a golden crust on top.
-
Serve hot and enjoy the cheesy, creamy, and flavorful pasta.
