Time 1h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

10 all-beef hot dogs (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large white onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
3 hot dog buns
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 English cucumber, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon celery salt
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 cups chopped sport peppers or pepperoncini (about 5 1/2 ounces)
One 14-ounce container yellow mustard
1 1/2 cups chopped dill pickles (about 10 spears)
1 cup sweet pickle relish
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the hot dogs in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add a third of the onions and cook, stirring, until soft and slightly golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add the chopped hot dog and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
  • Preheat the broiler. Open the buns and arrange on a baking sheet. Broil until toasted on each side, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Cut into small pieces.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise and poppy seeds in a small bowl. Toss the cucumber and celery salt together in a small bowl.
  • Layer the dip in a medium, 3-quart glass trifle bowl or your favorite small serving dish. Spread out the tomatoes on the bottom, then top, in even layers, with the peppers, toasted buns, a generous drizzle of mustard, the remaining onions, the hot dog mixture, the pickles, poppy seed sauce, relish and cucumber. Wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight. Garnish with another drizzle of mustard and serve with potato chips.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a good quality dry onion soup mix. You can also use two envelopes of dry onion soup mix if you want a stronger onion flavor.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best results. Pre-shredded Parmesan cheese won't melt as smoothly.
  • If you don't have sour cream, you can use plain yogurt instead.
  • You can add other ingredients to the dip to taste, such as chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, or crumbled bacon.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers, such as pita chips, tortilla chips, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicago dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, cheesy, and flavorful, and it is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give Chicago dip a try!
