Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves (large, like romaine or iceberg)
- 4 links Beef hot dogs (low carb)
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Chopped onions
- 0.25 cup Sliced pickles
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating up, wash and pat dry the large lettuce leaves. These will serve as your low-carb bun, so set them aside on a plate.
Place the beef hot dogs on the grill or in the pan. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have grill marks.
As the hot dogs are cooking, in a small bowl, mix the sauerkraut with the chopped onions, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Once the hot dogs are done, remove them from the heat.
To assemble the hot dog, lay a lettuce leaf flat and place a hot dog in the center.
Top the hot dog with 2 tablespoons of sauerkraut-onion mixture and add a few slices of pickles.
Drizzle a tablespoon of Dijon mustard over each hot dog for added flavor.
Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and lettuce leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy this guilt-free, low-carb version of a classic hot dog with sauerkraut.
