Hot Dogs

Method

Hot Dogs

  1. 1

    Prep toppings

    Set out all toppings (sauerkraut, relish, cheddar, onions). Slice the onion thinly if needed and measure aioli ingredients for quick mixing.

  2. 2

    Caramelize onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add sliced onion and brown sugar; season with salt and pepper. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until onions are deeply caramelized and sweet, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Toast buns

    Split the hot dog buns and lightly toast them on the grill or in a skillet with a touch of butter until golden.

  4. 4

    Grill hot dogs

    Grill Niman Ranch hot dogs over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until browned and heated through, about 6-8 minutes.

  5. 5

    Prepare mustard aioli

    In a small bowl whisk mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and lemon juice until smooth. Taste and adjust with a pinch more salt if desired.

  6. 6

    Assemble and serve

    Spread a thin layer of mustard aioli inside each toasted bun. Place a hot dog in the bun. Top with caramelized onions, sauerkraut, and sweet relish. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the hot dogs while they’re hot so it melts slightly. Drizzle a little more aioli if desired and serve immediately.
