Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
While the grill is heating up, wash and pat dry the large lettuce leaves. These will serve as your low-carb bun, so set them aside on a plate.
Step 3
Place the beef hot dogs on the grill or in the pan. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have grill marks.
Step 4
As the hot dogs are cooking, in a small bowl, mix the sauerkraut with the chopped onions, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 5
Once the hot dogs are done, remove them from the heat.
Step 6
To assemble the hot dog, lay a lettuce leaf flat and place a hot dog in the center.
Step 7
Top the hot dog with 2 tablespoons of sauerkraut-onion mixture and add a few slices of pickles.
Step 8
Drizzle a tablespoon of Dijon mustard over each hot dog for added flavor.
Step 9
Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and lettuce leaves.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy this guilt-free, low-carb version of a classic hot dog with sauerkraut.
