Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 hot dog buns
- 4 hot dogs
- 1/2 cup sauerkraut
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup mustard
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: hot dog buns, hot dogs, sauerkraut, diced onions, mustard, and shredded cheese.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat. If using a stovetop, you can also use a skillet.
- Once the grill is hot, place the hot dogs on the grill. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have nice grill marks.
- While the hot dogs are cooking, prepare the hot dog buns. If you prefer toasted buns, you can place them on the grill for the last 1-2 minutes of the hot dog cooking time, turning them once to achieve a light golden color.
- In a small saucepan, heat the sauerkraut over low heat until warmed through, about 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the hot dogs are ready, assemble your loaded street hot dogs. Start by placing a hot dog in each bun.
- Top each hot dog with a generous spoonful of warm sauerkraut.
- Next, sprinkle diced onions over the sauerkraut for added crunch and flavor.
- Drizzle mustard over the top, adjusting the amount to your taste preference.
- Finally, sprinkle shredded cheese over each hot dog, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the hot dog.
- Serve the loaded street hot dogs immediately while they are warm, garnished with extra onions or mustard if desired. Enjoy your flavorful twist on a classic favorite!
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Select high-quality hot dogs and fresh buns for the best flavor and texture.
- Grill for Maximum Flavor: For the best results, use a grill or grill pan to create those perfect char marks that add smoky depth to your hot dogs.
- Toast Your Buns: Lightly toasting the buns adds a delightful crunch and prevents them from getting soggy from the toppings.
- Warm Your Sauerkraut: Heating the sauerkraut brings out its full flavor and makes the hot dogs more enjoyable.
- Cheese Melting Trick: If you want extra melty cheese, cover the hot dogs with a lid for the last minute of cooking to help the cheese melt perfectly.
- Customize to Taste: Feel free to experiment with additional toppings like pickles, jalapeños, or different types of mustard to make the recipe your own.
- Serve Immediately: These loaded hot dogs are best enjoyed right after preparation when the hot dogs are hot and the cheese is melty.
