Indianapolis recently hosted the Big 10 basketball tournament. As part of the event, the Levy restaurant group in Chicago produced unique hot dogs that highlight each of the Big 10 teams. I came across a copy of the list of the dogs recently, and just had to make each of them. The Minnesota Gopher hot dog was fantastic. Spicy chili, crunchy onions, even crunchier Fritos, and ooey gooey cheese sauce. Nice and messy, like a great dog is supposed to be!
A Great Twist On A Classic Dog
A nice twist to the Minnesota Gopher hot dog would be to swap out the Fritos with BBQ or chili Fritos. And for a little extra kick, use a jalapeno cheese sauce. You’ll be happy you did!
Velveeta makes cheese sauce packets that are the perfect go-to when you need a simple sauce. You just tear open a pouch, squeeze it out into a microwave-safe bowl, and nuke it for a few seconds. Boom! Instant creamy, cheesy deliciousness! Perfect on hot dogs! And darned near everything else!

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 air-fried hot dogs. I get a crunchy skin. And I like that. And I can throw the buns in too 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’ll 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!
