Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hot Dogs

    Start by preheating your grill or stovetop pan over medium heat. Place the hot dog sausages on the grill or in the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have grill marks.

  2. 2

    Toast the Buns

    While the hot dogs are cooking, you can toast the bun rolls. Place the buns on the grill or in a toaster for about 2-3 minutes until they are lightly golden and warm.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Merchant Dogs

    Once the hot dogs are cooked and the buns are toasted, place one hot dog into each bun. Now it's time to add your toppings.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Start by squeezing yellow mustard and ketchup on top of the hot dogs. Next, add a generous amount of chopped onions, sweet relish, and chopped jalapeños. Finally, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and top with sauerkraut.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Finish with Optional Garnishes

    For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some fresh cilantro on top and add crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
