Michigan Style Chicago Hot Dog Recipe
The key to a great hot dog is the meat.
They must be natural casing,all beef dogs. Vienna from Chicago,Koegel’s from Flint,MI,and Nueske’s from Wisconsin & Kowalski from Hamtramck,MI are the brands that we favor.
The buns must have poppy seeds.
Sport peppers are available almost anywhere.They are the little hot peppers packed in vinegar.
- 8 Hot Dogs
- 8 Poppy Seed buns
- 1 cup finely diced onion(we prefer Sweet onions-Texas,Maui,Vidalia)
- 2 Tomatoes sliced in 8 wedges each (seeds removed)
- Yellow mustard to taste
- Sweet pickle relish to taste
- 3 Sport peppers per hot dog
- Celery salt
- Simmer the hot dogs in a covered sauce pan until they plump up nicely(up to 10 minutes).
- Place the hot dogs into the buns.(We warm them for 30 seconds in the microwave,or steam them for a minute or 2)
- Apply mustard(use a squirt bottle for ease of application),onions,relish,2 wedges of Tomato,3 Sport peppers.Apply celery salt over the length of the dog.
