Apparently you did not read my message correctly. The recipe says serves. It does not say covers. Yes,whoever is making the recipe can decide whatever they like to do with the recipe before they serve it. If that means covering something then they can choose to do so. However, the recipe says, serves hotdog wieners, which, hot dogs are not included in the recipe ingredients. How is that hard to understand it is confusing.

If the recipe says how many it would cover, how many it would serve is up to the server. I sometimes eat 4 hot-dogs as a meal. In my case, it would serve 7 and a half if you want to think of it that way. But it would cover 30.
