Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) frozen bread dough dinner rolls (12 count), thawed but still cold1/2 cup panko bread crumbs2 tablespoons chopped onion1 tablespoon canola oil1/4 teaspoon salt1/8 teaspoon pepper12 bun-length beef hot dogs1 package (7-1/4 ounces) macaroni and cheese dinner mix

Preparation

Let dough stand at room temperature until soft enough to shape, 15-20 minutes. Cut each roll in half; shape each half into a 3-in.-long mini hot dog bun. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.

Cover with greased plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°.

Bake buns until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

In a 15x10x1-in. baking pan, toss bread crumbs with onion, oil, salt and pepper. Bake at 350° until golden brown, stirring once, 5-7 minutes.

Cook hot dogs and macaroni and cheese according to package directions. To serve, cut hot dogs crosswise in half. Split buns; fill with hot dogs and macaroni and cheese. Sprinkle with toasted crumbs.
