Octopus Sandwiches

By , About.com Guide

Use a hot dog and a hamburger bun to create a fun octopus sandwich - adapted by a recipe submitted by Karen.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
  • Hot Dog
  • Hamburger Bun
  • Cheese
Preparation:
Cut a hot dog down the middle, lengthwise; cut each of these strips in half down the middle (lengthwise) again. Cut each of these 4 pieces in half to make 8 legs. Boil the hot dog pieces until they curl. Place the piece of cheese on half of the hamburger bun and then place the ends of the hot dog pieces onto the bun so the curled ends are sticking out the sides. (You might want to place the bun and cheese in the microwave or oven for a moment so the cheese melts slightly).

Cover your sandwich with the other half of the hanburger bun. You can use catsup and/or mustard to make eyes and a mouth on the top of the bun!
