Instructions
Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Place the hot dog sausages on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are evenly browned and heated through.
While the sausages are cooking, lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill or in a toaster for about 1-2 minutes until warm and slightly crispy.
Place each cooked sausage into a bun.
Top with mustard, ketchup, and finely chopped onions. Add any optional toppings like relish, sauerkraut, or cheese if desired.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your classic American hot dogs!
Chef's Tips
- Grilling Tip: For extra flavor, grill the sausages over charcoal or wood chips.
- Bun Tip: Steam the buns for a softer texture if you prefer them less crispy.
- Topping Variations: Experiment with different toppings like chili, coleslaw, or avocado for a unique twist.
- Vegetarian Option: Use plant-based sausages and buns for a vegetarian or vegan version.
- Leftovers: Store any unused sausages in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
