Instructions
Gather all ingredients and place them within reach to make the preparation process smoother.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the vegetarian hot dog sausages to the skillet and cook for about 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely browned and heated through.
While the sausages are cooking, optional: Butter the insides of the hot dog buns lightly for added flavor.
Place the buttered or plain hot dog buns in a separate skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes on each side to toast them lightly.
Warm the sauerkraut in a small saucepan over low heat, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Chop the onion into small pieces and set aside.
Once the vegetarian sausages and buns are heated, assemble the hot dogs by placing each sausage inside a bun.
Top each hot dog with 2 tablespoons of sauerkraut, making sure it is spread evenly along the sausage.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard and 1 tablespoon of ketchup over each hot dog.
Add 1 tablespoon of sweet pickle relish to each, followed by a sprinkle of chopped onion.
Serve immediately to enjoy the classic flavors. These vegetarian hot dogs can be served alongside chips, fries, or a simple green salad.
