Classic American-style sausages in soft buns with mustard, ketchup, relish, and onions. Ready in 20 minutes.
# What You'll Need:
→ Sausages & Buns
01 - 4 frankfurter or hot dog sausages
02 - 4 long hot dog buns
→ Toppings
03 - 4 tablespoons yellow mustard
04 - 4 tablespoons ketchup
05 - 4 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
06 - 1 small onion, finely chopped
→ Optional Garnishes
07 - 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
08 - 2 tablespoons sauerkraut
09 - 1 jalapeño, sliced
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 - Heat sausages using your preferred method: grill over medium-high heat, pan-fry in a skillet, or simmer in hot water. Cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through and nicely browned.
02 - Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes or in a warm oven until golden and slightly crisp. This step is optional but adds texture.
03 - Place one cooked sausage in each toasted bun. Ensure the sausage is centered for even topping distribution.
04 - Drizzle mustard and ketchup in lines along the length of each sausage. Spoon sweet pickle relish over the condiments and sprinkle with finely chopped onion.
05 - If desired, top with shredded cheddar cheese while hot for melting, add sauerkraut for tang, or arrange jalapeño slices for extra heat.
06 - Serve hot dogs warm with your choice of sides such as potato chips, coleslaw, or French fries. Pair with root beer, lemonade, or cold lager.
