German Hotdogs
For this recipe I make 6 hotdogs but you can adjust this number to whatever number you need to make for you family 🙂
Equipment
- 7L searing slow cooker (If your slow cooker isn't a searing kind, also have a frypan handy)
Ingredients
- 6 German bratwurst sausages (the pre cooked kind)
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup Sauerkraut (I use jar type in supermarket jar pickle aisle)
- 6 hotdog buns
- Mustard and BBQ/Tomato sauce to serve
- Optional: Grated tasty cheese
Instructions
- Add the diced onion to searing slow cooker (or frypan) and cook on high sear/brown setting for10mins until softened. Remove and set aside.
- Sear the raw bratwurst sausages in searing slow cooker (or frypan) on high sear/brown setting for10mins until slightly browned. Remove and set aside.
- Cut each hotdog roll down the centre to fill. We don’t butter the rolls but you could if you prefer to.
- Add one cooked bratwurst to each dog and top with a generous spoonful each of the cooked onion and the sauerkraut to each dog.
- While cheese isn’t usually added to these kind of hotdogs, half of our family prefer with cheese so we do some with and some without.
- Place filled hotdogs into slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 1hr using tea towel trick
- Serve with a drizzle of your preferred sauce and your favourite mustard along each dog.
- Note: Hotdogs buns will be crunchy not soggy when cooked this way with the tea towel trick 😊
