Naked Dog (plain) Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Mixture

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2. 2

   Shape the Hot Dogs

   Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a cylindrical shape that resembles a hot dog. Ensure they are compact and uniform in size.

3. 3

   Cook the Hot Dogs

   In a large skillet, add the water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Place the shaped hot dogs into the skillet. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the hot dogs are fully cooked and have a nice brown color.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the hot dogs are cooking, you can toast the hot dog buns. In a separate pan, lightly butter the inside of the buns and place them face down in the pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

5. 5

   Assemble the Naked Dogs

   Once the hot dogs are cooked and the buns are toasted, place each hot dog into a bun. Serve immediately as is, or with your choice of toppings.
