Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces hot dog sausages
- 6 pieces hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup mustard
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup pickle relish
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon slices
- 2 pieces jalapeños
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or set up a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.
In a skillet, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy. Remove and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Chop the bacon into small crumbles and set aside.
Thinly slice the onion. In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice the jalapeños into thin rounds. If you prefer less spice, remove the seeds.
Butter the insides of the hot dog buns lightly. Toast the buns on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes until they are golden and crispy. Set them aside.
Grill the hot dog sausages over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once cooked, remove them from the grill.
Assemble the hot dogs by placing each hot dog sausage into a toasted bun. Top with caramelized onions, shredded cheddar cheese, bacon crumbles, jalapeño slices, and pickle relish.
Drizzle ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise on top, or serve these condiments on the side for guests to add as they prefer.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Championship Hot Dogs!
