Grilled Hot Dog Sandwich

This is my take on a great sandwich called the Whoppin' Big Dawg Platter that I had at That Sandwich Place in Nashville, IN. That Sandwich Place has some good food, good service, and tons and tons of Bobby Knight memorabilia.


They don't grill the dogs or buns, but I did. Feel free to use steamed or boiled dogs and non-toasted buns instead.

Ingredients:

• 4 hot dogs
• 2 Hamburger buns
• Mayo
• Ketchup
• Mustard
• 1/2 medium white onion, chopped
• 1/4 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
• Velveeta cheese (can sub American cheese slices)

1. Heat grill to medium high. Butterfly the hot dogs by cutting them (but not all the way through) lengthwise and spreading them open. Lay flat on grill and grill, turning once, until done.

2. Toast the buns on the grill.

3. Melt Velveeta in the microwave. If using American cheese instead, place cheese on buns while toasting over the grill.

4. Spread mayo on one side of the buns. Top with lettuce and onion, then add ketchup and mustard. Add hot dogs. Spread melted cheese on other bun side and top the sandwich. Serve.
