Popular hot dog toppings

I, for one, am all for as many toppings as I can fit. I’ve even been mocked for the way I prepare them.

I like to make each bite a different experience. One bite will have beans, another spicy mustard and sauerkraut, sometimes the next will be onions and jalapeños, and another ketchup.

Fourth place goes to cheese.

Cut the dog open while it’s still on the grill and let the cheese melt to perfection. Yum!
