*hot dog, hotdog, frank, wieners as keywords or the grandsons can't find the recipe. If garnish is desired, reserve ¼ c kraut, 2 frankfurters (sliced) and 2 slices of cheese cut into triangles.
Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.
To prepare kraut 'n' frank filling, melt 2 tb butter in large skillet. Add onion and chopped parsley. Saute over medium heat, stirring constantly, until onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in drained kraut, franks, cottage cheese, egg, and caraway seeds. Mix until ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
To prepare cheese sauce, melt remaining 6 tb butter in medium saucepan. Stir in flour, salt and cayenne pepper until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Reduce heat to low. Gradually add milk and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and begins to bowl.
Remove from heat. Add cheese strips to sauce. Stir until cheese is melted.
In ungreased 3-quart ovenproof baking dish layer 3 noodles, ⅓ kraut 'n' frank filling and ⅓ cheese sauce. Repeat 2 times, ending with cheese sauce. Cover with foil. Bake in 375 degree oven for 45 minutes or until center in hot and bubbly, removing foil for last 15 minutes of baking time. If garnish is desired, arrange reserved kraut, frankfurters and cheese triangles around edges and in center of baking dish when foil is removed. For easier cutting, let stand 5 minutes after removing from oven.
