Ingredients

  • 1 link beef hot dog
  • 1 piece poppy seed hot dog bun
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon chopped onion
  • 1 piece dill pickle spear
  • 2 pieces tomato wedges
  • 2 pieces pickled sport peppers
  • 1 pinch celery salt

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

Place the beef hot dog into the simmering water and allow it to cook for approximately 5 minutes or until heated through.

Step 3

While the hot dog is cooking, lightly steam the poppy seed bun for 1-2 minutes to warm it up without making it too soft. You can do this by placing the bun over the pot using a steaming rack or improvising with a sieve.

Step 4

Once the hot dog is heated, remove it from the pot using tongs and place it inside the steamed poppy seed bun.

Step 5

Drizzle the yellow mustard over the hot dog evenly.

Step 6

Next, add the sweet pickle relish down one side of the hot dog and the chopped onion down the opposite side.

Step 7

Place the dill pickle spear on one side of the hot dog, nestled between the hot dog and the bun.

Step 8

Tuck the two tomato wedges on the other side of the hot dog.

Step 9

Add the pickled sport peppers on top of the hot dog.

Step 10

Finish with a pinch of celery salt sprinkled evenly over the toppings.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Chicago style hot dog!
