Ingredients

3 Tablespoons salted butter
1 large sweet onion sliced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 hot dog buns
4 all-beef hot dogs
4 ounces whipped cream cheese
Cold sauerkraut for serving (optional)
Yellow mustard for serving (optional)
Sliced jalapenos for serving (optional)

Instructions

Heat a large pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the pan, then add the sliced onions. Season with salt, then cook for 10 to 15 minutes, reducing the heat if necessary to prevent burning and stirring occasionally until lightly caramelized. Transfer the cooked onions to a plate and set aside.
2 Tablespoons salted butter, 1 large sweet onion, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Return the pan to medium-high heat and lay the buns, cut sides down, into the pan to toast for 2 minutes until lightly browned. Remove the buns to a plate and set aside.
4 hot dog buns
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and let it melt. Add the hot dogs and cook for 2-3 minutes on both sides until lightly charred and heated through.
1 Tablespoons salted butter, 4 all-beef hot dogs
To assemble, spread 1-2 tablespoons of the whipped cream cheese onto each of the toasted buns. Add the hot dogs and onions along with your favorite toppings. Serve immediately.
4 ounces whipped cream cheese, Cold sauerkraut, Yellow mustard, Sliced jalapenos

Notes

Storage: You can make extra caramelized onions ahead of time and store them in the fridge. I would warm them to at least room temperature before assembling and serving.
