Cheesy Hot Dog With Sauteed Onion and Ketchup

I have a B.S. in accounting and a certificate in culinary arts. These two credentials help me efficiently manage our kitchen.

Hot dogs are a fan favorite all over the world. They can be cooked in a variety of ways, including frying, grilling, steaming, or boiling. Typically, they are served on hot dog buns, but they can also be enjoyed with steamed or fried rice.

In this simple recipe, we level up our hot dogs by cooking them with sauteed onions and ketchup, and then topping them with cheese.
