Experience a twist on a classic with Hot Dog Cheesesteaks, a smoky, cheesy delight. Start by preheating your Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill to 450ºF, ensuring the diffuser is removed and the cast iron griddle is installed. Spray the griddle with Cornhusker Kitchen Spray Duck Fat and add two sliced medium yellow onions. Season them lightly with Cattleman’s Grill Trail Dust All Purpose Seasoning and cook until softened and slightly browned around the edges. Next, spray the griddle again with duck fat, add six halved and thinly sliced hot dogs, and cook until they are slightly charred on the edges. Mix the onions and hot dogs together, then divide the mixture into four equal portions, placing two slices of American cheese on each portion to melt. While the cheese is melting, toast four top-cut brioche hot dog buns in duck fat until they are slightly browned on the surface and soft inside. Finally, slide each cheesy hot dog mixture onto a toasted bun and top with Cattleman’s Grill Pit Fire Hot Sauce for a perfect blend of smoky, cheesy, and spicy flavors. Enjoy!

The hot dog, a staple of American cuisine, has roots tracing back to Germany. Its ancestor, the sausage, was popular in Europe for centuries. German immigrants brought their culinary traditions, including the frankfurter, to the United States in the 19th century. The hot dog gained popularity at events like baseball games and fairs. Its modern incarnation is credited to Charles Feltman, who began selling sausages in rolls at Coney Island in the 1870s. The term "hot dog" reportedly emerged in the early 20th century, possibly popularized by cartoonist Tad Dorgan. Today, hot dogs are an iconic part of American culture, celebrated at cookouts and sports events nationwide.
