Treat your ingredients with care...
- Onions — Thinly slice the onions for even caramelization.
- Spicy Mustard — Adjust the amount of mustard according to your preference for spiciness.
- Half-Smoke Sausages — Look for high-quality sausages with a good balance of beef and pork for the best flavor.
- Hot Dog Buns — Choose soft and fresh buns that can hold the sausage and toppings without falling apart.
- Brown Sugar — Use dark brown sugar for a richer caramelized flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra smoky flavor, grill the sausages over charcoal.
- If you prefer a milder mustard, you can use a regular yellow mustard instead of spicy mustard.
- Add a slice of cheese, such as cheddar or Swiss, for an extra indulgent touch.
- Serve with a side of pickles and potato chips for a complete American-style meal.
- Customize your toppings by adding sauerkraut, relish, or jalapenos for additional flavor and texture.
Serving advice
Serve the Half-Smoke Hot Dogs with a side of coleslaw or a simple green salad to balance the richness of the sausage and onions. Offer extra mustard and onions on the side for those who want to add more to their hot dogs.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Half-Smoke Hot Dogs on a platter, with the caramelized onions piled high on top of the sausages. Drizzle a little extra mustard over the onions for an appetizing presentation. Serve with a garnish of fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color.
