Chicago Style Hot Dog Cups Recipes

CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOG

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, place hot dog in water, and cook 5 minutes or until done. Remove hot dog and set aside. Carefully place a steamer basket into the pot and steam the hot dog bun 2 minutes or until warm.
• Place hot dog in the steamed bun. Pile on the toppings in this order: yellow mustard, sweet green pickle relish, onion, tomato wedges, pickle spear, sport peppers, and celery salt. The tomatoes should be nestled between the hot dog and the top of the bun. Place the pickle between the hot dog and the bottom of the bun. Don't even think about ketchup!

CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOG CUPS

Steps:

• 2.
• Separate biscuit dough into 8 biscuits. Carefully separate each biscuit into 2 thin rounds to make 16 total rounds. Firmly press 1 biscuit round in bottom and up side of each muffin cup, forming 1/4-inch rim.
• 3.
• In medium bowl, stir sliced hot dogs, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard and the Worcestershire sauce. Spoon mixture evenly into biscuit cups.
• 4.
• Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water; brush mixture on edges of biscuit cups. Sprinkle poppy seed evenly on edges of biscuit cups. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until edges of biscuit cups are golden brown. Transfer biscuit cups to serving plate. Top each with 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon relish and 1 tablespoon white onion. Sprinkle cups evenly with celery salt.

CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOGS

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Without splitting them in half completely, gently flatten the hot dog buns and place them seam-side up in the pan. Move them around to catch all the melted butter and cook until very lightly toasted at the edges, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove the buns and set aside.
• Raise the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pan. When the butter is melted, add the hot dogs and cook, rolling occasionally until all sides are browned and looking crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. (See Tip if grilling.)
• Place the cooked dogs in the buns and top each with as much yellow mustard, relish and onion as you like. On one side of each dog, place a couple of tomato slices; on the other side, place a single pickle spear. Top with as many sport peppers as you can handle. Generously season with the celery salt and serve immediately.

CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Simmer frankfurters in beer or water for approximately 10 minutes.
• Warm buns in microwave, until slightly warm and soft.
• To assemble hot dogs, place frank in each bun.
• Add mustard to taste; top with dill spear, relish, onion, tomato, and 1-2 sport peppers (Jalapenos"might" be a reasonable substitute if you are desperate to find the sport peppers, but the taste won't be quite the same).
• Sprinkle with celery and poppy seeds.
• Serve.
