Hot Dog Assembly

Method

Hot Dog Preparation

  1. 1

    Grill or Boil Hot Dogs

    Cook the all-beef hot dogs by either grilling them over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, or boiling them in water for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

  2. 2

    Toast the Buns

    While the hot dogs are cooking, lightly toast the hot dog buns either on the grill or in a toaster for a minute or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Hot Dogs

    Place a cooked hot dog inside each toasted bun. Then, layer the toppings, starting with the diced tomatoes, followed by the chopped onions, and then the neon green relish.

  2. 4

    Add Pickles and Peppers

    On top of the relish, add a pickle spear on one side and a sports pepper on the other side of each hot dog.

  3. 5

    Finish with Celery Salt

    Sprinkle a pinch of celery salt over the hot dogs to enhance the flavor.
