1
Prepare the Hotdogs
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the beef hotdogs and cook them for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, you can grill them for a smokier flavor.
2
Prepare the Buns
While the hotdogs are cooking, steam the hot dog buns for about 1-2 minutes until warm and soft. You can do this by placing them in a steamer basket or wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving them for 10-15 seconds.

3
Assemble the Chicago Dog
Place each cooked beef hotdog into a warm bun. Top each with a tablespoon of yellow mustard and sweet pickle relish.
4
Add the Vegetables
Sprinkle diced onions on top, add two sport peppers for a bit of heat, and spoon giardiniera over the hotdog.
5
Finish with Celery Salt
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of celery salt over the entire hotdog to enhance the flavors.
