Ingredients
4 all-beef hot dogs
4 hot dog buns
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sauerkraut, drained
Sriracha or other hot sauce to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
While onions cook, grill or pan-fry hot dogs over medium heat until heated through and lightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Spread a generous layer of cream cheese inside each bun.
Place a hot dog in each bun, then top with caramelized onions and sauerkraut.
Drizzle with sriracha to taste. Serve immediately.
Tips
For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of celery salt or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the onions while cooking.
If you prefer a milder heat, substitute sriracha with ketchup or mustard.
