Ingredients
  

  • 4 hot dog sausages (beef or pork)
  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 4–6 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat butter or oil in a skillet and sauté the sliced onions until soft and lightly caramelized.
  • Cook the hot dogs on a grill or pan until heated through and slightly browned.
  • Warm the buns lightly.
  • Spread a generous layer of cream cheese inside each bun.
  • Place the hot dog in the bun, top with sautéed onions, and add optional toppings.
  • Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Full-fat cream cheese gives the best flavour and texture.
  • Softening the cream cheese makes spreading easier.
  • Sweet onions work especially well for caramelization.
  • This dish is best enjoyed fresh and hot.
  • Toppings can be adjusted to taste.
