Classic Hot Dog

Step 1

Cook hot dogs using preferred method:

Grilling Method: Heat hot dogs over medium (or indirect) heat on grill, turning occasionally. Cook until fully heated internally and there is a nice, even char on all sides, being careful not to burn them.

Boiling Method: Fill a saucepan with about 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn heat to low and add hot dogs. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until hotdogs are fully heated.

Combination Method: First, boil hot dogs using the boiling method above to ensure they are warmed through. Then, grill hot dogs on a grill over high heat until they have a nice char, or broil in the oven for a few minutes

Campfire Method: Place hot dogs on skewers. Cook over the fire, rotating occasionally, about two to four minutes or until the outside is bubbling and browned.

Alternate Methods: You can also fry the hot dogs in a pan with olive oil, or bake them in the oven until fully heated.

Step 2

Once hot dogs are fully heated, remove from heat and set aside, drying them off if necessary.

Step 3

Place each hot dog in a bun and top with desired toppings and condiments, such as cheese, mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, chili, etc.
