Toppings
- 4 jalapeño peppers sliced, with or without seeds

Grill the Hot Dogs
- Lightly grease and preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat and cook the hot dogs, turning every few minutes to ensure even grilling and they are cooked through. Then lightly grill the hot dog buns on both sides.
Assembling the Seattle Hot Dogs
- Stir the cream cheese until soft and spread on each toasted bun. Place the hot dog in the bun, top with caramelized onions, mustard, sliced jalapenos, and any other toppings your heart desires. Enjoy!
