Chili Cheese Veggie Dogs with NY Style Onions


There are some things I miss so very much about NY, and the easy convenience of buying yummy street food is just one of them.

These little hand and mouthfuls are so amazing and easy, we didn't even need a side dish and I don't even think meat eaters would be disappointed! ! I took pictures and will post them soon.

They are good to throw together when you are looking to do something with some of your leftover chili :)

New England Style Potato Hot dog rolls are a must!
Chili (left over from chips and did the night before)
Salsa Con Queso Cheese Dip (left over from chips and did the night before)
Veggie Dogs (just heat them up in the microwave for a few minutes)
Yellow Mustard
BBQ Onions-NY Style!

are you ready to make the yummiest condiment ever, just like the hot dog cart man used to dish up????

first, coarsely chop one gigantic sweet onion and saute over high heat in a few tablespoons of olive oil until they start to turn golden.....splash generously with some good red wine and continue to saute until liquid is reduced....sprinkle with sea salt and coarse black pepper and give the yummy mixture a quick stir or two and then.....generously douse with about a half of bottle of Heinz 57 Steak sauce and gently toss until warmed through...about 30 seconds!

Now you are ready to assemble your dawgs....of course you can do it however you want, but I think they are best with a minimal line of mustard on the base of the bun followed by the hot dog which was briefly rolled around in the onion mixture, followed by a layer of chili, a dollop of cheese and a final layer of amazing onions!

Enjoy!
