It seems unjust to compare this recipe with true enchiladas but that is what the title is referring to. To me this recipe has a weird sort of appeal; they would be quick and inexpensive and kids would probably like them.
Wienie-Lottas
8 to 10 tortillas
2 (10 1/2 oz.) cans chili without beans
1 tablespoon instant minced onion
6 to 8 drops bottled hot pepper sauce
1 pound (8 to 10) frankfurters
1 8-oz. can tomato sauce
1/4 cup chopped canned green chili peppers
4 ounces sharp natural Cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup)
Warm tortillas. Combine next three ingredients. Place a frank on each tortilla; top each with 2 tablespoons chili mixture (reserve remaining). Roll tortillas around franks. Arrange, seam side down, in 12x71/2x2-inch baking dish. Combine remaining chili mixture and tomato sauce; pour over tortillas. Sprinkle with chili peppers. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 3o minutes. Top with cheese and return to oven until cheese melts. Serves 4 or 5.

Frankfurter Friday- Frankfurter Fritatta
I would not generally associate James Beard with frankfurters. It turns out though that in his book How to Eat Better for Less Money he provides quite a few frankfurter recipes. This fritatta recipe seems like it would be tasty and a budget pleaser:
Frankfurter Fritatta
6 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion , chopped fine
4 to 5 frankfurters, cut in shreds
6 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
Melt the butter in a skillet and cook the onion and green pepper until the onions are just golden. Add the frankfurters and cook until delicately browned and cooked through- about 5 minutes. Pour over them the eggs mixed with the cheese, parsley and seasonings and cook until eggs are just set. Put under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes to brown the top a little. Serve cut into wedges with potato salad or Cole Slaw. Serves 4.

Frankfurter Beef Loaf
This recipe is a real oldie, from the 1935 booklet Our Favorite Meat Recipes. It was an National Live Stock And Meat Board publication. The appeal of the photos have not held up to time so I won't be posting them. Have you noticed that vintage meat dish photos are usually very nasty looking? Well on to the recipe:
Frankfurter Beef Loaf
2 pounds ground beef
4 medium-sized frankfurters
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 small onion, grated
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 slices bacon
Combine ground beef and bread crumbs. Season with grated onion, chopped parsley and salt and pepper. Moisten with beaten egg and shape into a loaf, with the frankfurters, lengthwise in it. Put bacon strips over the top and bake in a 350 degree oven for one hour.

Frankfurter Friday- Hot Dog Creole
Well here it is Friday again and I haven't posted during the week. I admit I am even getting a little sick of hot dog recipes. Next week I will really try to post something else during the week.
There really isn't anything creole about this recipe, but it is frugal. It also seems like kids would like it. It was in an old Lea & Perrins magazine advertisement.
"Creole" Franks
1 tablespoon oil
1 pound beef frankfurters, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce
1 can (12 oz.) vacuum packed corn with red and green sweet peppers
1 tablespoon instant minced onion
2 teaspoons Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 teaspoon majoram leaves, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 package (8 oz.) elbow macaroni
In a large skillet heat oil. Add frankfurters; cook, stirring frequently, until brown, about 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce, corn, onion, Worcestershire sauce, marjoram and salt. Bring to boiling point. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook macaroni as label directs; drain. Serve sauce over macaroni. Sprinkle with grated American cheese, if desired. Yield: 6 portions

Frankfurter Friday- Frankfurters in Crust
This is yet another retro recipe card with wretched photography. I don't think any one would be serving the franks in crust with franks and potatoes. The menu suggestion on the back was Frankfurters in a Crust, Waldorf Salad, Creamed Spinach and Strawberry Sundaes. A photo of the bowl of salad or even the creamed spinach would have made a more appealing card. Not surprisingly, this recipe is from the Budget Dishes section.
Frankfurters in Crust
8-ounce package refrigerated quick crescent rolls
1/3 cup mustard-pickle relish
6 frankfurters
2 tablespoon evaporated milk
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Unroll crescent rolls to a rectangular shape, pressing seams together. Spread relish over pastry, leaving a 1-inch border all around. Place frankfurters in rows of three down center of pastry; bring sides of dough together over frankfurters and press to seal; press ends of dough to seal. Place seam side down, on an ungreased baking pan. Perforate top of crust with the tines of a fork; brush with evaporated milk; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake 15 to 20 minutes -until golden brown. Slice crosswise to serve. Serves 3 to 4.

Frankfurter Friday- Frankfurter Pilaf
The recipe comes right out of my recipe card file. I noted on it that it was from Woman's Day Mag. 5/84. I have made this quite a few times and it is good, fast and frugal. I usually make it in a skillet instead of a saucepan. It is easier to saute the rice that way.
Frankfurter Pilaf
1/4 cup margarine
1 large onion, minced
1 cup uncooked rice
2-1/2 cups hot beef bouillon or broth
1/2 pound franks, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
Melt margarine in large heavy saucepan. Add onion and saute until golden. Add rice and saute until translucent,. Add bouillon and franks and bring to boil. Cover and simmer over low heat 20 to 25 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
Frankfurter Friday- Hot Dog Mash
This would be a good recipe to try if you want potatoes with your franks but do not want to make scalloped potatoes. It is from Budget-Wise Dinners That Are Winners- Thrifty Main Dishes, 1979.
Hot Dog Mash
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 pound frankfurters, cut into bite-size pieces
1-1/3 cup instant mashed potatoes
1/2 cup grated American cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Melt butter or margarine in medium skillet over medium heat; add onion, green pepper and garlic and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add frankfurters; cook, covered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, prepare instant mashed potatoes according to label directions to yield 4 servings; stir in 1/4 cup of the American cheese and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese.
Place frankfurter-onion mixture in lightly greased 1-1/2-quart casserole; cover with potato mixture. Sprinkle with remaining American and Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Frankfurter Friday- Taco Franks and Mac Bake
I am moving my blog Hots Dogs, Wieners and Franks over to this one. It is just too confusing to have a bunch of separate blogs. Those recipes are vintage too, so they fit in here.
This is the intro I have on that blog: It seems like every cookbook or recipe booklet I pick up has a recipe featuring hot dogs, frankfurters, wieners or what ever you chose to call them. It could just be selective vision at work, I have frugal recipes on my mind lately.
This recipe is from Tried & True Money Saving Meals, 1981, from Creamettes and Borden. Creamettes brand is of course the makers of macaroni, spaghetti and egg noodles. This little booklet even features a section titled Elegant & Inexpensive. Sorry I have a hard time thinking of macaroni as elegant. The Taco Franks comes from the appropriately titled Money-Saving Main Dishes section.
Taco Franks And Mac Bake
1 (7-ounce) package or 2 cups uncooked Creamettes Elbow Macaroni, cooked as package directs and drained
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup margarine or butter
2 (10-3/4 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup
1 cup water
1 (1-1/4-ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 pound frankfurters, cut into quarters
Buttered soft bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large skillet, cook onion and green pepper in margarine until tender. Stir in soup, water and taco seasoning.; blend until smooth. Bring mixture to a boil; simmer 10 minutes. In large bowl, combine cooked macaroni, tomato mixture and frankfurters, mix well. Turn into greased 2-quart baking dish, top with crumbs. Bake 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Makes 6 to 8 servings

Frankfurter Spectacular
I belong to the Flickr group vintage recipe cards. I just saw this one tonight and I am so envious. I would love to have this little beauty of a card in my collection. I don't think I have any Weight Watchers cards. Didn't someone publish a snarky book about the Weight Watcher cards? Click on the photo to get the recipe if for some unknown reason you would like to try making this.
Week-Day Casserole- The ABC of Casseroles
This frugal casserole is another recipe from The ABC of Casseroles. The poem for the letter C is:
Casserole cooking
Is easy as pie;
A party is born
In the wink of an eye!
Week-Day Casserole
3 cups potatoes
1 onion, sliced thin
Salt, pepper
Celery salt
4 tablespoons flour
8 frankfurters
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups milk
Place half of the sliced potatoes and onion in a buttered 2-quart casserole. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, celery salt and 1/2 of the flour. Cut frankfurters into 1-inch pieces and place on potatoes. Cover with the remaining potatoes. Sprinkle again with seasoning and remaining flour. Dot with butter and add the milk. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake about 1/2 hour longer. Serves 6.
Weiner Stew- Family Favorite Meat Cook Book
This little cookbook is just what it claims to be. It contains beef, pork, lamb and veal recipes. It has a chapter on frankfurters also. The hardback edition has a 1958 copyright and this paperback a 1970 one. Here is the recipe for Wiener Stew:Wiener Stew
1 pound frankfurters
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 ripe peeled tomatoes, cut into cubes
2 green peppers, finely chopped
Salt
Pepper
Hamburger buns

Add the tomatoes, green peppers and seasonings. Add water to cover. Cover pan and simmer until vegetables are soft, about 12 minutes. Slice frankfurters into penny size slices. Add to pan. Cool slowly for 10 minutes and stir occasionally. Split hamburger buns completely in half. Toast. Spoon wiener stew on 1/2 bun and serve the other half plain.
