I haven't had hot dogs since I got back from USA, I got spoilt there!!

As sassmuffin said it's usual to have with caramelized onions, & miniman, with mustard,
but we usually have them with piccalilli, I make a shed load of it in the Autumn, bottle it, & it lasts all year.
Piccalilli (Mustard Pickle)


Makes 10×1lb jars
Prep time 2 hours
Cooking time 18 mins (approx)

That Philly dog looks awesome, Keltin.
What unique buns, too. They look much deeper, to hold more toppings.

Wait! Are we topping hotdogs, or making a dish and shoving a hotdog underneath it?! :yum::yum::yum:

It's a good thing y'all are like family because I wouldn't share this kind of stuff with just anyone. My intention was to find a unique hot dog topping to enter into the competition. I will share it with you just so you know not to try this a home...or anywhere else for that matter...:oops:
Loaded hot dog:

I caramelized some onions, then I slit a hot dog almost all the way through and took some shredded cheese and bacon and mixed with some leftover mashed potatoes. I stuffed the mashed potatoes in the hot dog, sprinkled them with paprika and placed under the broiler. I buttered the hot dog buns and put them under the broiler. I put the caramelized onions in the bun and place the hot dog on top and this is what it looked like:

I tried putting some ketchup on it but that didn't seem to help either :lol::

You know, if I had just used plain mashed potatoes and added sauerkraut to the caramelized onions, that probably would have worked better.

Mama - How about DC (Discontinue) the mashed, Go with carmelized onions, saute in some peppers while you are at it, add the bacon put that in the middle and on the side.

Barb - It sounds good to me the way that you made it. DW is Canadian and puts some mashed on the fork with most meat that she eats. I am sure that she would like it more than I do.

It seemed that you were looking for variations as well. Mine usually have kechup, mustard, chopped onions and sweet relish. Not imaginative or photogenic.

Hi Bam,

My DW is from Lethbridge Alberta. One of her brothers still lives there, as does her daughter. Another of her brothers lives in Campbell River, BC and the other lives in Victoria, BC. I have visited Lethbridge and Victoria and find them beautiful.

So far as deep fried hot dogs there is a place in Northern Jersey named "Rutts Hut". It if locally famous for what it calls the "Ripper". That is a dog in a natural casing deep fried till it rips open. Rutts Hut goes back to the 60's.

Ha--I thought that was ricotta cheese when I first looked at it. Very creative and beautiful pic. :clap:

I considered a lot of different toppings for my hotdog, but the more I thought about it, the more I said "Why mess with perfection?"

I give you: Hotdog topped with French's Yellow Mustard, and Sweet Pickle Relish.
