Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 link beef hot dog
- 1 piece poppy seed hot dog bun
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon chopped onion
- 1 piece dill pickle spear
- 2 pieces tomato wedges
- 2 pieces pickled sport peppers
- 1 pinch celery salt
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Place the beef hot dog into the simmering water and allow it to cook for approximately 5 minutes or until heated through.
While the hot dog is cooking, lightly steam the poppy seed bun for 1-2 minutes to warm it up without making it too soft. You can do this by placing the bun over the pot using a steaming rack or improvising with a sieve.
Once the hot dog is heated, remove it from the pot using tongs and place it inside the steamed poppy seed bun.
Drizzle the yellow mustard over the hot dog evenly.
Next, add the sweet pickle relish down one side of the hot dog and the chopped onion down the opposite side.
Place the dill pickle spear on one side of the hot dog, nestled between the hot dog and the bun.
Tuck the two tomato wedges on the other side of the hot dog.
Add the pickled sport peppers on top of the hot dog.
Finish with a pinch of celery salt sprinkled evenly over the toppings.
Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Chicago style hot dog!
