Old Mom and Pop Store Hot Dog Recipe

hot dog sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Turkey sausage is lower in fat, while pork sausage is often more affordable.

hot dog bun

🥗Healthier: whole grain bun

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain buns offer more fiber, while white bread can be a budget-friendly option.

Take two bun length hot dogs and split them halfway, not all the way through, like butterflying a chicken breast.

Heat a skillet and add enough butter to toast the buns and grill the hot dogs.

Lay the hot dogs flat in the skillet and heat until browned on each side.

Ensure there is enough butter to toast the buns and get them sloppy with butter.

Smash the butter toasted buns before placing the hot dogs inside.

Serve the hot dogs without mustard or ketchup, as the butter is the main flavor.
