How about some Clown Meat?

Hot dogs aren’t as funny, but they sure can be good.

If you are wanting some hot dogs for dinner, but rain makes grilling difficult, then try out this tasty preparation. The combo of toppings, especially the celery salt and pepperoncini made these franks especially good. I liked the poppy seeds on the rolls, too.

Chicago Dogs

Ingredients:

6 split hot dog buns
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
6 all-beef hot dogs
6 dill pickle spears
12 tomato wedges
Yellow mustard
Sweet relish
1 small white onion, finely chopped
6 sport peppers or peperoncini
Celery salt

Directions:

1. Brush outsides of buns with butter; sprinkle with poppy seeds.

2. Bake, split sides down, at 350℉ until warm, about 5 minutes.

3. Warm hot dogs in boiling water for 5 minutes; transfer to buns.

4. Arrange a dill pickle spear on 1 side of each hot dog and 2 tomato wedges on the other side. Squirt yellow mustard over each in a zigzag; top with a dollop of sweet relish. Divide onion among hot dogs. Top each with a sport pepper or a peperoncino. Sprinkle with celery salt.
