My family LOVES this recipe. I do make a couple of changes. I use 1/2 of a string cheese in each. I cook the sausage dogs and cheese (without sauce) first - about 30 minutes and then add sauce and cheese and heat up the rest. Until the cheese is melted. I make extra sauce and eat ours with spaghetti. Some people eat the sausage on the side, others cut it up and eat it with the spaghetti noodles.
