I tried many different hot dog onion recipes. I mixed and matched them until I got the perfect combination!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Serve these cooked onions and everyone will be requesting a hot dog at your next cookout. The onions are caramelized, tangy, and sweet. This is a quick and easy to prepare recipe.
