Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces beef hot dogs
- 4 pieces hot dog buns
- 4 pieces Swiss cheese slices
- 1 cup sauerkraut
- 0.5 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons deli-style mustard (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat or fire up your grill.
While the skillet or grill is heating, place the sauerkraut in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Warm it through, stirring occasionally.
Butter the insides of the hot dog buns and set them aside.
Cook the beef hot dogs in the skillet or on the grill, turning occasionally, until heated through and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
In the same skillet or grill, toast the buttered hot dog buns until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Place one slice of Swiss cheese inside each toasted bun. The warmth from the bun will slightly soften the cheese.
Place a hot dog in each bun, on top of the cheese.
Top each hot dog with about 1/4 cup of warm sauerkraut.
Drizzle approximately 2 tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing over the sauerkraut on each hot dog. Sprinkle a pinch of caraway seeds on top if using.
For an extra tangy touch, add a small drizzle of deli-style mustard if desired.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Reuben Dogs!
