Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 package hot dogs, such as Hebrew National Jumbo Beef Franks
1 package cocktail franks
4 hot dog buns
1 package hot dog buns
One 8-ounce package liver mousse
Whole grain mustard, to serve
1 package brown-and-serve dinner rolls

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the onions. When the onions begin to soften, add the sugar and season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to low and cover the pan. When the onions just begin to brown, remove the cover. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the onions are a dark brown color. Be careful not to let them burn. Set aside.
  • Melt 2 more tablespoons butter in same skillet over medium heat. Cut several shallow slashes across the hot dogs and add them to the pan. Fry until they are cooked through and nicely browned. Set aside and keep warm. Add the cocktail franks to the pan and fry until they are cooked through and nicely browned. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in another pan and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Split open the hot dog buns and toast them in the buttery juices. Spread a thin layer of mousse inside both halves of each bun. Top with a hot dog and pile on the onions. Add a few dollops of mustard and serve.
  • Split the dinner rolls down the middle and spoon on some of the melted butter. Stuff in 2 of the cocktail franks and spread on some mousse. Top with some onions and mustard and serve.

OPEN FACE CHILI DOG



Open Face Chili Dog image

Made with 'second day chili' (everyone knows chili is best the second day) this is a delicious way to eat a chili dog in a new way! When I was a child we used to make hotdogs this way from time to time (especially when there were no hotdog buns in the house but we had hamburger buns) and I discovered one day that it is a perfect platform for a heaping helping of chili! Eaten with a fork, this is one chilidog that attempts to step onto the good china :)

6 hot dogs
6 hamburger buns
3 cups leftover chili
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced onion

Steps:

  • Take the raw hotdogs and slice 2/3 of the way through every half an inch (not lengthwise but as if you were cutting it up and not cutting all the way through).
  • Place hotdogs in pot and cook per directions on package, as they cook they will curl into circles.
  • Re-heat chili.
  • Place the now circular hotdogs on the bottom hamburger buns, fill the center with chili to overflowing.
  • Sprinkle with cheese and onions, then place top bun upside down on top of the chili, top with a little more chili and cheese and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right hot dog. Not all hot dogs are created equal. For the best open-face hot dogs, choose a plump, juicy hot dog with a casing that snaps when you bite into it. Kosher hot dogs and Vienna sausages are popular choices.
  • Grill or fry the hot dogs to perfection. For a classic charred flavor, grill the hot dogs over medium heat until they are cooked through. You can also fry them in a pan with a little oil until they are golden brown.
  • Load up on the toppings. The beauty of open-face hot dogs is that you can pile on as many toppings as you like. Some popular choices include chili, cheese, onions, sauerkraut, and relish. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Don't forget the bun. While the hot dog is the star of the show, the bun is also important. Choose a bun that is sturdy enough to hold up to the toppings, but soft enough to be enjoyable to eat.

Conclusion:

Open-face hot dogs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With so many different topping options, there's sure to be an open-face hot dog that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and satisfying meal, give open-face hot dogs a try.
