Yield: 12
Cuisine: Hot Dog
Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil; 2 Spanish Onions; 12 Ounces Beer; 1 1/2 Cups Merkts Sharp Cheddar Cheese; 12 Hotdog Buns; Hot Sauce As Needed; 12 All-Beef Footlong Hotdogs

Bring a little heat to your menu—then top it off with a generous smear of Merkts Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Your patrons will love the sinfully-dunked griddled hotdog almost as much as they love the bold and hearty cheese that complements it.

Preparation

Equipment:

Fryer, Stove Top, Oven

For Ale-Griddled Onions:

Heat oil in non-stick sauté pan, over medium-high heat.
Add the onions and cook for approximately 8 minutes until onions are caramelized and translucent.
Mix in beer and cook for another 8 minutes or until all the beer is absorbed.
Reserve hot.

To Make A “HOT” Dawg:

Heat the chili needed for service—then hold hot, in an electric bain-marie or on a steam table.

To Make A Chili Cheesy Dog:

Spread 2 tablespoons of soft Merkts Sharp Cheddar Cheese down the center and up the sides of the toasted hotdog bun.
Dip or roll cooked hotdog in hot sauce.
Then place it in bun.
Top with 1 small tongful of ale onions (equally divide out the 12 portions).
