Pretzel Dog with Caramelized Onions and Pimento Cheese

Simple ingredients, but with that said when everything is combined, it is so complex in flavor. It is almost ridiculous how good this hot dog is.

To assemble, take your lightly toasted pretzel hot dog bun and spread the pimento cheese on the cut sides. Lay the cooked hot dog on top of the cheese to warm that up, then top the hot dog with the warm caramelized onions.

When you first grab ahold of this hot dog, you are first encountered by that wonderful smell of the pretzel roll (I love that smell), and when bitten into, well, all hell breaks loose in terms of flavor. You get that great texture from the roll, then the snap of the hot dog, and wow, the pimento cheese. I was already so sold on the pimento cheese that in fact I thought of just making a pimento cheese roll, but then decided to add the balance of the caramelized onions. All I can say is … this hot dog is really tough to beat. I do not even think I put it down. And I immediately thought of making another one when I was done. It was that great. But unfortunately, I did not have another pretzel roll. Probably best!

So, if you are looking for a new take on a hot dog, give this one a shot. Great ingredients go a long way in making a hot dog come to life! Enjoy.
