Have some fun with sausages and make these Monster Hot Dogs with a warm red cabbage slaw. Perfect for Halloween or Bonfire Night!
Hot dogs often have a bit of a bad reputation but I'm using debbie & andrew's Pork & Herb Chipolatas which contain 84% pork and are gluten, wheat and dairy free.
The sausages can be cooked in the oven or fried on the hob. They can also been cooked on the bbq or even on a bonfire if you're feeling brave!
The eyes are of course optional but they really do make a fun addition to these hot dogs! I got mine from the Eats Amazing shop!
