grandma's hot dog creole

Recipe by

This is a recreation of something my husband's grandmother made all the time when he was a kid in the 80's before she passed. I got bits and pieces of what she did from family members. This is not what I consider creole food, but it is quite tasty and really cheap and filling meal!
