Tired of boring hot dogs? Try this fun twist on a traditional hotdog – a Reuben Hot Dog.
Once the weather gets warm hot dogs are a frequent meal at my house. They are quick to make, and everyone in the family enjoys them! My vegetarian daughter will eat veggie hot dogs, so I can feed the entire family without making a special meal for her.
But hot dogs can get boring, and sometimes it is fun to try toppings other than mustard or chili.
So I took the traditional ingredients of a Reuben sandwich and used them to top off hot dogs. I added sauerkraut, Thousand Island Salad dressing and Swiss cheese to the hot dog for a tasty dinner.
This is a great way to change things up and make a simple meal different and exciting. With the addition of a simple salad or another easy side dish, you can have a kid friendly dinner on the table in no time at all.
If you love hot dogs try my air fryer hot dogs or crockpot hot dogs for easy meal ideas.

What a clever way to dress up ordinary hot dogs! My son loves Rueben sandwiches so I think he would definitely be happy if I served up some Rueben hot dogs too. We’ll certainly be giving this a try!
I’ve never been a fan of sauerkraut, but my hubby loves it. I think these reuben dogs would be right up his alley!! Thank you for sharing at Merry Monday!
