Ingredients

• 4 pieces beef hot dogs
• 4 pieces hot dog buns
• 4 pieces Swiss cheese slices
• 1 cup sauerkraut
• 0.5 cup Thousand Island dressing
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
• 2 tablespoons deli-style mustard (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet over medium heat or fire up your grill.

Step 2

While the skillet or grill is heating, place the sauerkraut in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Warm it through, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Butter the insides of the hot dog buns and set them aside.

Step 4

Cook the beef hot dogs in the skillet or on the grill, turning occasionally, until heated through and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

In the same skillet or grill, toast the buttered hot dog buns until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

Place one slice of Swiss cheese inside each toasted bun. The warmth from the bun will slightly soften the cheese.

Step 7

Place a hot dog in each bun, on top of the cheese.

Step 8

Top each hot dog with about 1/4 cup of warm sauerkraut.

Step 9

Drizzle approximately 2 tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing over the sauerkraut on each hot dog. Sprinkle a pinch of caraway seeds on top if using.

Step 10

For an extra tangy touch, add a small drizzle of deli-style mustard if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Reuben Dogs!
