Servings: 4

Ingredients

Hot dogs (4 large)
Hot dog buns (4 soft, split)
Cream cheese (1/2 cup, softened)
Unsalted butter (1 tablespoon)
Onions (1 large, thinly sliced)
Grilled jalapenos (1/2 cup, sliced)
Yellow mustard (to taste)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance their natural sweetness.
While the onions are cooking, grill the hot dogs over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are heated through and have a slightly charred exterior.
Spread a tablespoon of softened cream cheese on the inside of each hot dog bun, creating a rich and creamy base.
Place each grilled hot dog into the bun, ensuring it's snugly fitted.
Generously top each hot dog with the caramelized onions, allowing their sweetness to shine.
Drizzle with yellow mustard to taste and add the sliced grilled jalapenos for a spicy kick.
Season with additional salt and pepper if desired, then serve the hot dogs immediately while they're still warm.
