Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hot Dogs

    Preheat a grill or stovetop pan over medium heat. Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have grill marks.

  2. 2

    Warm the Buns

    While the hot dogs are cooking, you can warm the hot dog buns. You can place them on the grill for the last 2 minutes of cooking or microwave them for about 15-20 seconds until warm.

  3. 3

    Prepare Toppings

    In small bowls, arrange all the toppings: yellow mustard, ketchup, chopped onions, relish, shredded cheese, sliced jalapeños, sauerkraut, and chili. Make sure to have spoons available for each topping.

  4. 4

    Set Up Condiments

    Place the hot sauce, barbecue sauce, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in small containers or squeeze bottles for easy access.

    Assemble Your Hot Dog
