fourth of july hot dogs without a grill

hot dogs
a pat of butter
buns
a moist paper towel

in a saute pan, place a pat of butter.  let the butter melt and begin to brown.  place your hot dog(s) in the pan and turn often until desired brown-ness has been reached.  put bun(s) in the microwave with a moist paper towel over them for 15-20 seconds.  put hot dogs in buns and have hot dogs as good as those done on a grill.

I am not eating boiled hot dogs.  As far as I am concerned, the only good hot dog is a grilled hot dog or so I thought.  My friend Alice told me that she too loves grilled hot dogs but when she needs a hot dog fix, she pops one in a saute pan.  They are pretty good this way but the reality is that hot dogs brown better with butter.  I realize saying butter is needed may put me in the same category as Paula Deen but I swear the butter is necessary and delicious.  So not having a grill is no longer an excuse to not eating a hot dog on the fourth of July.

ps My favorite Paula Deen quote: "Oops I dropped it in the butter y'all..."
