INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 8 hotdogs

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 1 1/2 large white onions, sliced
    • 3 large jalapenos, halved
    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • Fats & Oils

    • 3 tablespoons bacon grease
    • 🧈 3 tablespoons butter

STEPS

1

Using a knife, make a 1/8-inch slice lengthwise down each hotdog; set aside.

2

Heat bacon grease in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add hot dogs, onion, tomatoes, jalapeno, garlic, and red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook until the vegetables have softened and everything is well browned, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3

Meanwhile, heat a second skillet over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of each hotdog bun, and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly toasted on all sides.

4

Divide hot dogs and vegetables evenly among toasted buns and top with shredded cheese. Allow cheese to melt and serve immediately.

💡 For extra flavor, use high-quality hotdogs or sausages.If you like it spicier, add more red pepper flakes or use spicier chilies.Preheat the buns slightly before toasting them with butter for an even crispier result.This dish pairs well with a side of guacamole or chips for a Mexican-inspired meal.
