This mashup of a hot dog with a Reuben sandwich is a match made in deli heaven. Although the recipe calls for fully cooked chicken and apple sausages, you could easily substitute them with standard hot dog links. Split-top hot dog buns are key to this recipe, since they have flat sides that get griddled to toasty perfection in butter, just as you would a classic Reuben.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, onion and relish in a small bowl. Set the sauce aside.
  2. Melt 2 teaspoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage halves cut-side down until browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes, then flip and brown the curved side, 1 to 2 more minutes; if the sausages curl excessively, top with another skillet to weigh them down. Remove to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.
  3. Line the inside of each bun with cheese, then add some sauerkraut and a sausage half. Butter the sides and bottoms of the buns with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Place the skillet over medium to medium-low heat and toast the sides and bottoms of the buns until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 1 minute per side. (Do this in batches, if necessary.) Top with more sauerkraut and the sauce.
