• 3 c. refrigerated saurkraut
• 1/2 c. dark beer

For the Hot Dogs:

1. Bring the beer and sugar to a simmer in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the hot dogs and let simmer until the dogs get plump, about 8 minutes. There should be some remaining beer syrup in the pan. Keep it! You’ll need it for later.
2. Grill the hot dogs on medium for about 7 minutes.
3. If you’d like, you could toast your hot dog bun on the grill.
4. Build your dog! Top with sauerkraut and mustard. Enjoy!
