Method

Cooking the Hot Dogs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Water

    In a medium-sized pot, add 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Hot Dogs

    Once the water is boiling, carefully add the hot dogs. Allow them to cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

    Remove the Hot Dogs

    Using tongs, remove the hot dogs from the pot and place them on a plate. Set aside.

Grilling the Buns

  1. 4

    Butter the Buns

    Take the hot dog buns and spread butter evenly on the inside of each bun.

  2. 5

    Grill the Buns

    In a skillet or on a grill, place the buttered buns cut side down and grill them over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Assembling the Hot Dogs

  1. 6

    Place Hot Dogs in Buns

    Once the buns are grilled, place a hot dog into each bun.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top each hot dog with your choice of ketchup, mustard, relish, diced onions, or shredded cheese.
