This is a recipe from The Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library, 1971. It is from the Crowd-Size Entertaining section. This recipe serves 48 and I am afraid there would probably be around 40 left. As written it just doesn't seem appealing and the photo sure does nothing for it. I think the problem is that the mixture is not heated. I have eaten hot tuna and chicken salad in buns and they taste better than they sound. The fact that this made with hot dogs just begs for it to be heated. I would not want a cold or room temperature hot dog mixture on a hot bun.
Sloppy Franks
3 pounds frankfurters, cut into 1/4-inch slices
3 cups diced celery
1-1/2 cups salted peanuts
1 cup diced green pepper
6 hard-cooked eggs, diced
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons minced onions
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups mayonnaise
48 sliced process sharp Cheddar cheese
48 frankfurter buns, split and buttered
Set oven control at broil and/or 550 degrees. Mix all ingredients except cheese and buns. Cut cheese slices into halves; place one on each bun half. Broil halves 4 to 5 inches from heat 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted and buns are toasted. Spread frankfurter mixture on bottom halves of buns; top with remaining halves. 49 servings.

Eight servings being consumed might still be overstating the popularity of this dish.
