Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 all-beef hot dogs
- 4 poppy seed hot dog buns
- 4 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 4 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 white onion
- 2 tomatoes
- 4 pickle spears
- 8 sport peppers
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Fill a medium saucepan or pot with 4 cups of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and carefully add the all-beef hot dogs. Let them simmer for about 5 minutes or until heated through.
While the hot dogs are cooking, finely chop the white onion and slice the tomatoes into 8 wedges.
Gently warm the poppy seed buns. You can do this by steaming them for about 2-3 minutes over the simmering hot dog water using a steamer basket, or by lightly toasting them in the oven.
Place one cooked hot dog into each warm poppy seed bun.
Top each hot dog with 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard and 1 tablespoon of sweet pickle relish.
Sprinkle finely chopped onions over the relish, ensuring even distribution.
Nestle two tomato wedges on one side of each hot dog and one pickle spear on the opposite side.
Add two sport peppers per hot dog and finish with a dash of celery salt over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Chicago-style hot dogs with a side of potato chips or fries!
