Ingredients
- For 10 preschool servings: 5 Kirkland Signature beef hot dogs
- 5 Franz hot dog buns
- 30 oven-baked Alexia potato puffs
- 2 1/2 cups finely chopped side salad
- 10 tablespoons prepared homemade ranch. Ranch components: mayonnaise, sour cream/milk as used, dry ranch seasoning packet. Toddlers use age-safe soft vegetables instead of raw salad and their recorded smaller tots/ranch portions. Match actual product yields and safe hot-dog preparation before service.
Required safe cut
Never serve hot dogs whole or in round coin slices. Cut lengthwise into quarters, then crosswise into small pieces.
Preparation
Bake tots until cooked but not excessively crisp. Heat hot dogs fully and use the required safe cut. Serve each preschool child ½ hot dog with ½ bun, three tots, ¼ cup finely chopped salad, and one tablespoon ranch.
Infant guidance
Do not serve hot dogs to infants. Offer an individually approved soft protein, mashed or very soft potato, and a soft cooked vegetable according to the feeding plan.
Nutrition note
Planning estimate for the listed preschool serving. Verify hot dog, bun, tot, and ranch labels before service.
