Mmmmmm. Oh my goodness. Where have I been that I didn’t know that slathering cream cheese on a hot dog is just about the best thing ever? This simple approach to Seattle-style hot dogs is a fantastic way to jazz up your ‘usual’ hot dog. Yeah, there are onions and peppers on these dogs too. But I’m not sure I really noticed. I couldn’t get over how much I loved the cream cheese and hot dog combo!
Fancy. And Good.
I used pickled pepper rings, but you can substitute jalapenos instead for a little kick. To make your Seattle-style hot dogs look a bit out-of-the-ordinary, cut a ‘+’ pattern in the ends before tossing them onto the grill. The ends will separate and give the dogs a different look. You can also cut them into spirals and amaze everyone (plus they hold ingredients better!).
These are delicious hot dogs with a great twist that everyone will enjoy. Load up on the cream cheese. If you’re like me, there’s no way you could possibly put too much on a hot dog bun!

Cookin’ Dogs
Hey, cook the dogs however you want, on whatever you want. Griddle. Grill. Stovetop. Boiled. Broiled. Steamed. Baked. I don’t care. I don’t mean that in a snobby way. I’m just saying you do you. I happen to like mine grilled or air-fried. I get a crunchy skin. And I like that. And I can throw the buns on the grill or into the air fryer if I want them toasted (and I do). I often like to cut a thin slit lengthwise down my hot dog before cooking it. That slit will open up a bit as the dog heats. When I put it on the bun, I put the hot dog slit face-up. It gives the toppings a wonderful place to go. And stay. They don’t pop out with each and every bite!
