A classic American street food, Hot Dogs with Sauerkraut combines juicy sausages with tangy, fermented cabbage, creating a deliciously savory, slightly sour bite. Perfect for barbecues, casual dinners, or game day snacks.
Ingredients:
- 4 hot dog sausages (beef, pork, or chicken)
- 4 hot dog buns
- 1 cup sauerkraut (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped

- Ketchup (optional)
- Salt, pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the sausages: Grill or cook the hot dog sausages in a pan over medium heat until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes).
- Sauté the onions: In a small pan, melt butter and sauté the chopped onions until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the sauerkraut: Add sauerkraut to the pan with onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, just to warm it up and combine the flavors.
