NOTES : This recipe comes from my mother-in-law. It is not only easy to make, but it's also great for kids. Paprikash is traditionally made with chicken or veal, but mine is a kids' version because hot dogs are a food that kids love. Of course the secret ingredient is still paprika. The green pepper and onions can be added to taste, depending on what audience you are appealing to. It is a fun recipe to make because kids can help with much of the preparation, and my kids love to help cook.
