Instructions
- Start by steaming the buns until soft, which preserves their moisture and texture.
- Meanwhile, boil or grill the hot dog sausages until perfectly cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the hot dogs cook, prepare toppings: slice dill pickles, chop onions, and slice tomatoes for added freshness.
- Place the steamed bun on a plate and nestle the hot dog sausage inside.
- Layer on mustard, relish, and chopped onions generously.
- Add slices of tomato and sprinkle celery salt to taste.
- Top with sport peppers and additional toppings if desired.
- Serve immediately with a side of hot wings or fresh chips for a complete meal.
Notes
- For best results, use high-quality ingredients like fresh all-beef sausages and crisp vegetables.
- Steam buns just before serving to maintain their softness.
- Adjust toppings to your preference, but traditional Chicago-style hot dogs do not include ketchup.
