The Seattle Hot Dog is a regional favorite that has been around for decades and continues to be a popular choice for Seattleites. The hot dog is typically served on a steamed bun with cream cheese and grilled onions, a combination that is said to have originated in the late 1960s.
The Seattle Hot Dog is a classic American hot dog that is usually made with a beef frankfurter and served on a steamed hot dog bun. The hot dog is then topped with a generous amount of cream cheese, grilled onions, and a special blend of sauces and seasonings. This blend of sauces and seasonings is what gives the Seattle Hot Dog its unique flavor.
To make a Seattle Hot Dog at home, you will need the following ingredients:
• 4 beef hot dogs
• 4 steamed hot dog buns
• 8 tablespoons of cream cheese
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1/4 cup of ketchup
• 1/4 cup of yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
You will also need the following kitchen equipment:
• Grill or skillet
• Knife
• Cutting board

To begin, preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Place the hot dogs on the grill or skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, flipping once. While the hot dogs are cooking, combine the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a large bowl and mix well.
Once the hot dogs are cooked, brush them with the sauce mixture and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes. Place the hot dogs in the steamed buns and top with a generous amount of cream cheese and grilled onions.
For an added kick, try adding some jalapeno peppers or hot sauce to the Seattle Hot Dog. This will give it some extra spice and flavor.
