Notes
*Nutrition information is approximate and was calculated using an online nutrition calculator.
Tip 1. Cook the hot dog slices for a few minutes first to give the meat a little char and texture. Is a hot dog worth eating if it doesn't have at least a little char?
Tip 2. Feel free to adjust the amount of heavy whipping cream to achieve a looser and more abundant gravy. Start by adding ¼ cup over what the recipe calls for, then reducing to see what you think as it thickens. You can always add a little more towards the end of cook time as the gravy thickens.
