- 8 ounces jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 3 packages mini hot dogs about 42 ounces

- Wrap the dogs one by one and place on a baking sheet. Bake them for 10 or 15 minutes, whatever the package says.
- Meanwhile, cut a star out from the pastry dough and stick a skewer into it. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Build the tree with the pigs. Stick the star on top.
- Pour the cheese sauce on top and decorate with the jalapenos and tomatoes.
