Note

For best results, ensure the macaroni is cooked al dente so it holds its shape when baked.

If using a double boiler is inconvenient, you can melt the cheese and milk mixture gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

Deli-style frankfurters work best for this recipe due to their firm texture, but high-quality hot dogs can be substituted.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain texture.
