If you're looking for a delicious homemade hot dog recipe, here's one that combines a flavorful hot dog with homemade toppings:
Ingredients:
4 hot dog buns
4 hot dogs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the toppings:
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings:
Shredded cheese
Relish
Sauerkraut
Jalapeños
Chili
Instructions:
Prepare the toppings: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onions and continue to cook for another minute until they are nicely caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Grill the hot dogs: Brush the hot dogs with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place them on the grill at a diagonal angle and grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely charred and heated through.
Toast the buns: While the hot dogs are grilling, you can lightly toast the buns on the grill if desired.
Assemble the hot dogs: Place each grilled hot dog into a bun. Spread ketchup and mustard along the hot dog, and then add the caramelized onions, chopped pickles, and any other desired toppings. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve and enjoy: Serve the hot dogs immediately while they are still warm. You can serve them with additional condiments, sides, and beverages of your choice.
Feel free to customize this recipe according to your taste preferences. Enjoy your homemade hot dogs!
