Prepare the grill or pot of boiling water for cooking hot dogs.

Cook hot dogs on the grill until charred, about 5-7 minutes, or boil for 5 minutes until heated through.

While hot dogs are cooking, slice hot dog buns open lengthwise without cutting all the way through.

Place cooked hot dogs into the buns, ensuring they fit snugly.

Add mustard, ketchup, and relish to taste on top of the hot dogs.

Sprinkle chopped onions and sauerkraut over the condiments if desired.

Top with shredded cheese or cheese slices, allowing it to melt slightly if using hot dogs from the grill.

Add jalapeños or pickles for additional flavor and crunch.

Drizzle barbecue sauce or chili over the top for a different variation.

Finish with a sprinkle of pepper and celery salt for seasoning.
