Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hot Dogs

    In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil. Once boiling, add the hot dogs and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Buns

    While the hot dogs are cooking, you can warm the hot dog buns. Place them in a steamer or wrap them in aluminum foil and place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat the Sauerkraut

    In a small saucepan, add the sauerkraut and heat over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until warmed through. Stir occasionally.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Kraut Dogs

    Once the hot dogs are cooked and the buns are warmed, place each hot dog in a bun. Top each hot dog with a generous spoonful of warm sauerkraut.

  2. 5

    Add Mustard

    Drizzle Goulden's mustard over the sauerkraut on each hot dog to taste.
