Hot Dog (with Bun) Recipe

Preparing the Hot Dog

Begin by boiling water in a pot. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and place the hot dog sausage(s) in the water. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, ensuring it’s heated thoroughly. Alternatively, hot dogs can be grilled or pan-fried for a more charred flavor. To grill, preheat your grill to medium heat and cook the hot dog for about 7 to 10 minutes, turning it frequently. For pan-frying, heat a pan over medium heat and cook the hot dog, turning it frequently, until it reaches your desired level of browning.

Assembling the Hot Dog

Once the hot dog is cooked, carefully place it in a bun. The traditional serving includes adding condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or relish according to preference. Feel free to get creative with your toppings, incorporating items like sauerkraut, onions, cheese, or chili to elevate your hot dog experience.
