Method:
Cook the noodles as per package direction. Drain and rinse. Set aside. Slice the hot dogs on the bias (diagonally) and nuke them til cooked, about 1-2 minutes depending on your microwave.
Heat some oil. Saute garlic and onions. Then add in the meat. Cook till brown. Season with some salt and pepper.
Pour in the spaghetti sauce, banana ketchup, sugar, bay leaf and water.
Mix and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until it gets thick and red. Add in the hot dogs last. Mix and just let the hot dogs heat through. Sauce is done!
