Description
A quick cookout favorite made with spiral-cut hot dogs, crisp lettuce, soft buns, and tangy yellow mustard.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 beef hot dogs
- 6 hot dog buns
- 6 small romaine lettuce leaves, washed and dried
- 6 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon neutral oil, if cooking in a skillet or grill pan
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, optional
Instructions
- Heat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium heat.
- Place the hot dogs on a cutting board and season lightly with black pepper if using.
- Brush the skillet or grill pan with 1 teaspoon neutral oil if needed.
- Carefully cut each hot dog in a spiral pattern by turning it while making shallow diagonal cuts around it.
- Cook the hot dogs for 6 to 8 minutes, turning often, until browned and lightly crisp on the edges.
- Toast the buns for 1 to 2 minutes, then place one lettuce leaf inside each bun.
- Add one cooked hot dog to each bun, drizzle each with 1 tablespoon mustard, and serve warm.
Notes
- Keep the spiral cuts shallow so the hot dogs stay intact.
- Dry the lettuce well before adding it to the buns.
- Turn the hot dogs often for even browning.
- Serve right away for the best texture.
