Mini Hot Dog Burgers Recipes

MINI HOT DOGS

Steps:

• .Preheat oven to 200°C and either line a baking tray with paper of lightly grease the tray.
• Slit the rolls from the top, being careful not to cut all the way through.
• Place a cocktail frankfurt in each roll and place on the tray. Sprinkle over some cheese.
• Bake 10 minutes- the cheese should be nicely melted and the frankfurt heated through.
• Serve with tomato sauce/ketchup or mustard on the side. Enjoy!

MINI HOT DOG 'BURGERS'

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Grill wieners 7 to 9 min. or until heated through, turning occasionally.
• Cut wieners lengthwise in half, then cut each piece crosswise into 6 pieces.
• Fill rolls with wiener pieces and remaining ingredients.

HAMBURGER DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• In a large bowl, combine ground beef, seasoning packet, ketchup, bread crumbs, and egg. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. Shape into hot dog forms. Grill for approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Serve on hot dog buns with more ketchup, relish, and chopped onions.

BURGER OR HOT DOG BUNS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat milk, water and butter until very warm, 120 degrees F (50 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, mix together 1 3/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Mix milk mixture into flour mixture, and then mix in egg. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into smooth balls, and place on a greased baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Cover, and let rise for 30 to 35 minutes.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
• For Hot Dog Buns: Shape each piece into a 6x4 inch rectangle. Starting with the longer side, roll up tightly, and pinch edges and ends to seal. Let rise about 20 to 25 minutes. Bake as above. These buns are pretty big. I usually make 16 instead of 12.

MINI BURGERS

Steps:

• For Paul's burger sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients.
• For the burgers: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add about 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet. When the butter has melted, working in batches, open the buns and toast them in the skillet until they are golden brown.
• Wipe out the skillet and reheat it over medium-high heat. Season the burger patties with salt and pepper. Working in batches and using more of the oil and butter, place some of the burger patties in the skillet (do not crowd the pan). Cook until the burgers are well seared (about 3 minutes) and flip. Place a slice of cheese on each burger and continue to cook the burgers for 2 minutes longer. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese and steam the burgers. Continue until all the burgers are cooked, adding more oil and butter to the skillet between batches as necessary.
• Spread each side of the buns with about 2 teaspoons of Paul's burger sauce. Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper and place the tomatoes on the bottoms of the buns. Place the cooked burger patties on top of the tomatoes and then top the burgers with shredded lettuce. Secure the tops of the buns on the burgers with frilled toothpicks or small bamboo skewers.

HAMBURGER BUNS, HOTDOG BUNS, OR DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Note: I gave up trying to put in weights in addition to volumes in the ingredients section. Water is 296g. Flour is 544g.
• In bread machine pan combine the warm water, oil, yeast, and sugar, mixing to dissolve.
• Allow yeast mixture to bloom for 10 minutes.
• Add egg, flour and salt to bread machine pan.
• Set bread machine to dough cycle and allow to run full cycle. (this is for 2 lb bread machine, if using a smaller bread machine then remove after kneading and allow to rise in a lightly covered bowl). Half way through the kneading cycle check your dough and if necessary add either water or flour 1 tablespoon at a time to adjust consistency. This can vary due to brand of flour or humidity.
• Coat your hands with flour and shake off the excess.
• Transfer the dough from the bread machine pan (or bowl if you are using a smaller bread machine) to a lightly floured dough board.
• Knead dough 6 or 8 times, folding over and turning a ¼ turn each time.
• With bench knife (or other knife) cut dough into 12 - 32 pieces, depending on what you are making.
• Shape dough into balls (or cylinders for hotdog buns) and place on sheet pan (I use a 16" pizza pan) lined with parchment.
• Loosely cover dough and let rise until ripe (30 minutes to 1 hr plus depending on temperature and the age of your yeast). Dough is ripe when approximately doubled or when you can press your index finger up to the first joint and it leaves an indention.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Just before putting in oven, brush the buns with half of the melted butter.
• For a variation brush with egg white instead of butter and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.
• Bake until golden brown, 18 to 25 minutes (my oven takes 21 minutes).
• Take the buns from the oven and brush them with the remaining melted butter.
• Slide the buns off the baking sheet onto a wire cooling rack rack and cool completely.

TIM LOVE'S BURGER DOG

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine the sirloin and brisket in a food processor and pulse until ground.
• Transfer the meat into a large bowl. Add the mayonnaise, shallot, and wild game rub; gently mix.
• Divide the meat into 4 equal portions; shape the "burgers" into hotdog shapes.
• Place on preheated grill and close the lid. Cook for 4 minutes. Lift lid; flip burger dogs and close lid.
• Lightly toast hot dog buns, then set aside.
• Sear the burger dogs on all four sides for extra char flavor, about 2 1/2 minutes per side for medium, or until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F. During the final minute of grilling, top each burger dog with a slice of cheese.
• Transfer burger dogs from the grill to a grill bun. Salt and pepper to taste; serve with your favorite condiments.
