Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover hotdog filling separately from the buns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the hotdogs and pepper mixture in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Toast fresh buns before serving. Fries can be reheated in an oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness.
