Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
6 all-beef hot dogs
6 hot dog buns
Spicy brown mustard, for serving
Quick Kraut

Steps:

  • Choose the right hot dog: A classic New York dirty water hot dog is made with a beef frankfurter, but you can also use a pork or chicken sausage.
