Chicago Style Hot Dog Cups Recipes

Steps:

• Steamed Hot Dog
• Cook in a steamer basket set in a pot with a few inches of simmering water, covered, 5 to 7 minutes; add buns during the last minute.
• Bread-and-Butter Relish
• Combine 1 cup diced bread-and-butter pickles, 1 tablespoon diced pickled cherry peppers and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl.
• Yellow Mustard
• White Onion
• Celery-Salt Fries
• Bake 2 cups frozen french fries as the label directs. Toss with 1/2 teaspoon celery salt, and salt to taste.
• Sport Peppers (or other pickled hot peppers)

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, place hot dog in water, and cook 5 minutes or until done. Remove hot dog and set aside. Carefully place a steamer basket into the pot and steam the hot dog bun 2 minutes or until warm.
• Place hot dog in the steamed bun. Pile on the toppings in this order: yellow mustard, sweet green pickle relish, onion, tomato wedges, pickle spear, sport peppers, and celery salt. The tomatoes should be nestled between the hot dog and the top of the bun. Place the pickle between the hot dog and the bottom of the bun. Don't even think about ketchup!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 16 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
• 2.
• Separate biscuit dough into 8 biscuits. Carefully separate each biscuit into 2 thin rounds to make 16 total rounds. Firmly press 1 biscuit round in bottom and up side of each muffin cup, forming 1/4-inch rim.
• 3.
• In medium bowl, stir sliced hot dogs, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard and the Worcestershire sauce. Spoon mixture evenly into biscuit cups.
• 4.
• Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water; brush mixture on edges of biscuit cups. Sprinkle poppy seed evenly on edges of biscuit cups. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until edges of biscuit cups are golden brown. Transfer biscuit cups to serving plate. Top each with 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon relish and 1 tablespoon white onion. Sprinkle cups evenly with celery salt.

Steps:

• To make the giardiniera, combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the salt. Transfer to a heatproof bowl, let cool, and then let marinate in the liquid until serving. (The giardiniera will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.)
• To make the relish, combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and incorporated.
• To cook the hot dogs, in a saucepan, combine the beer and hot dogs and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat and let the hot dogs cool in the beer. On a charcoal or gas grill or a stove-top grill pan, sear the hot dogs over high heat, turning as needed, until lightly charred.
• Line up half of the bread slices on a work surface. Top each slice with 1/8 of the cheese, 3 tablespoons pickle relish, 1/2 hot dog (2 pieces), 1/4 cup drained giardiniera, 2 tomato slices, and another 1/8 of the cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices.
• Line a large platter with paper towels. In a skillet over high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Turn down the heat to low, add 1 sandwich, and cook, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until browned and crisp on both sides and the cheese is melted. Transfer to the prepared platter to blot the excess grease. Repeat with the remaining butter and sandwiches.
• Cut the sandwiches in half, plate, and serve.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Without splitting them in half completely, gently flatten the hot dog buns and place them seam-side up in the pan. Move them around to catch all the melted butter and cook until very lightly toasted at the edges, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove the buns and set aside.
• Raise the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pan. When the butter is melted, add the hot dogs and cook, rolling occasionally until all sides are browned and looking crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. (See Tip if grilling.)
• Place the cooked dogs in the buns and top each with as much yellow mustard, relish and onion as you like. On one side of each dog, place a couple of tomato slices; on the other side, place a single pickle spear. Top with as many sport peppers as you can handle. Generously season with the celery salt and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Grill hot dogs according to package directions. Serve in tortillas with pickle, cucumber, tomatoes and onion. Add toppings as desired.
