Ingredients

  • 4 all-beef hot dogs
  • 4 poppy seed hot dog buns
  • 4 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 4 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 white onion
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 4 pickle spears
  • 8 sport peppers
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 4 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium saucepan or pot with 4 cups of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and carefully add the all-beef hot dogs. Let them simmer for about 5 minutes or until heated through.

Step 3

While the hot dogs are cooking, finely chop the white onion and slice the tomatoes into 8 wedges.

Step 4

Gently warm the poppy seed buns. You can do this by steaming them for about 2-3 minutes over the simmering hot dog water using a steamer basket, or by lightly toasting them in the oven.

Step 5

Place one cooked hot dog into each warm poppy seed bun.

Step 6

Top each hot dog with 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard and 1 tablespoon of sweet pickle relish.

Step 7

Sprinkle finely chopped onions over the relish, ensuring even distribution.

Step 8

Nestle two tomato wedges on one side of each hot dog and one pickle spear on the opposite side.

Step 9

Add two sport peppers per hot dog and finish with a dash of celery salt over the top.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Chicago-style hot dogs with a side of potato chips or fries!
