Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon relish
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/3 cup refrigerated sauerkraut, drained slightly
  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 4 beef franks
  • 1 cup grated swiss cheese
Directions
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, and lemon juice to make the dressing. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  2. Put the sauerkraut in a medium-sized sauté pan and cook over medium-low heat until warmed through. Remove from the heat and cover the pan. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the dog buns on it.
  3. With a knife, score each frank 6 or so times on a diagonal line. This will ensure even cooking and a crisp char. Preheat a grill on medium-high heat. Grill the hot dogs until charred to your liking, about 4 minutes per side.
  4. Turn the broiler to high. Place the hot dogs in the buns. Sprinkle each with ¼ cup grated Swiss cheese. Put the baking sheet under broiler, and with the oven door open, watch carefully until the cheese is just melted.
  5. To each hot dog, add 1/3 cup hot sauerkraut and spoon on some dressing. Serve immediately.
