The best way to cook Hot Dogs!

I've tried over the years to cook hot dogs at home, but never have been able to come close to the Costco $1.50 Hot Dog plus Drink! (Costco is an American "Big Box" Membership store with inexpensive prices). I'm not sure they are serving food these days with the Virus.

I got some Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs and then Googled the best way to cook them. There were several suggestions, but I tried steaming them in a fry pan with just some water covering the bottom and then waiting until that water had steamed away. Then throwing in a pat of butter.

Worked great!

A chicken stew from Zimbabwe. Chicken, onions, garlic, bell pepper, peanut butter, chicken stock. The sauce goes over the chicken, a pile of greens and rice, unless you're doing low-carb.

I agree with the salsa. If I didn't live alone I'd make fresh guac regularly but all the recipes I have make so much most of it would go to waste instead of waist were it belongs. So I just open the Herdez bottle.

Next time you pan fry a burger, put a little oil in the pan and plop some kimchi and a thick slice of onion on beside the patty to caramelize. Top the burger with the caramelized kimchi and onion, melted cheese, a little Sriracha mayonnaise, and a fried egg. Nirvana. The first time I had it, instead of a burger it was bulgogi, also excellent.

Stack the salad on those dogs just a bit higher, lay in a couple of sliced pickle outriggers and you will have a Chicago Dog. Yum! ;)
It certainly looks close. Though Chicago dogs would not admit sour cream, cream cheese, or any type of salad dressing, they do include mustard and sport peppers in addition to relish, tomatoes, onions and a pickle. Ketchup is always an automatic disqualifier. Traditionally Chicago dogs are steamed, but so-called "char-dogs" are now reasonably popular too.

Yesterday we had to squeeze in lunch really fast. I took two Oscar Meyer lean hot dogs, wrapped in potato buns inside paper towels. I microwaved them fifty seconds and topped them with diced red onion and mustard. They were delicious and very low calorie. There may be better hot dogs but none that low in calories. Microwaving gives you a dog that tastes like the clean version of a hot dog cart "dirty water" dog. I like 'em a lot.

Number one for me is a spicy brown mustard and chopped onions, but I also love them with sauerkraut, Chicago style, chili dogs (yellow mustard, onions, and canned chili), slaw dogs (chili dogs plus coleslaw), and even the way my wife likes them, with yellow mustard, ketchup, and chopped onion, but when they are served that way I often add pickle relish. I am also a fan of a dirty water dog with brown mustard and onion sauce.

Making hot dogs tonight (just me and my daughter, wife is abroad for a month), and I think I'm going to try a slow cooker: place the hot dogs vertically in the slow cooker, and then set on Low Heat for about 4 hours. Going for kind of a stadium-style thing.

Caramelized onions, dill relish, mustard as toppings; I am trying to steer my daughter away from the heresy of ketchup on hot dogs.
