SEATTLE CREAM CHEESE DOGS


~ allrecipes

1/4 c. butter
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
4 oz. pkg. cream cheese
4 hot dogs, or your favorite sausages
4 hot dog buns
brown mustard
sauerkraut (optional)

Preheat grill or grill pan on medium-high heat. 

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, then cook until onions have softened and turned deep brown, about 15 minutes. 

Warm the cream cheese over low heat in a separate skillet until very soft. Grill hot dogs until well browned. Lightly grill hot dog buns on both sides.

To assemble hot dogs, spread warm cream cheese on toasted hot dog bun, add hot dog or sausage, top with onions, mustard, and sauerkraut, if desired.

Notes: We skip the mustard and plain sauerkraut, then serve these with sauerkraut hot dog topping, which includes both skipped ingredients. We double the onions and cream cheese for six hot dogs and use a single batch of the hot dog topping recipe. They're delicious that way!
