Before I get into this recipe, I have to warn you: these are addicting.
Once you make these Mini Chicago Style Hot Dogs, your friends and family are going to ask you to make them all the time.

Mini Chicago Style Hot Dogs are a great party app or snack when watching Sports. I did reheat some the next day and they were delicious but they taste best served immediately from the oven.

Can You Put Ketchup on Mini Chicago Style Hot Dogs?
I ended up topping my Mini Chicago Style Hot Dogs with the mustard I made, the tomato, and the pickles as is traditional. Speaking of tradition, if you know anything about Chicago Style Hot Dogs you know that ketchup is considered absolutely forbidden.
These are Mini Chicago Style Hot Dogs, however, so is it legal to put ketchup on them?
Well, here’s the secret Chicagoans don’t want you to know: you will not actually be thrown in jail for putting ketchup on a hot dog. As fun as it can be to get wound up with pride about the specific details of a local dish, food is meant to be enjoyed, so you should feel free to use whatever toppings you think you’ll enjoy.
These might include:
- Ketchup
- Other kinds of mustard
- Hot Pepper
- Relish
- Cucumbers
Or any other toppings your little heart desires.
I found this combination to be perfect. The onion mustard was creamy and delicious and the crisp pickle along with the sweet tomato was just perfect.
I also think they looked super cute. They are dangerously delicious. You could easily eat ten of these.

Ingredients
- 1 Package of Cocktail Sausages
- 1 Can of Jumbo Refrigerated Biscuits
- 1/2 C of Yellow Mustard
- 2 T of Mayonnaise
- 3 T of Golden Onion Dry Soup Mix
- 2 T of Poppy Seeds
- 1 Egg
- 2 t of Celery Salt
- 1/3 C Each of Finely Diced Tomatoes and Pickles
Instructions
- Remove your cocktail sausages from the package and place in a bowl.
- Remove your biscuits from the pan and cut each biscuit into four quarters. they should look like triangles.
- Place one cocktail sausage on each triangle with the tip of the sausage at the point of the triangle. Press the sausage down into the biscuit. Then bring the edges up on the sides of the cocktail sausage and loosely seal.
You want the biscuit to open slightly when baking. - Place the bundles on the foil lined baking sheet.
- Take your egg and whisk it with a couple of tablespoons of water. The brush each sausage/biscuit bundle with some of the egg wash.
- Repeat the process until all the sausage/biscuits have an egg wash, then sprinkle all of them with the poppy seeds.
- Place the sausages in the oven that’s heated to 375 degrees. I baked mine for 12 minutes, all ovens vary so be sure to check on them and take them out when the biscuits are golden brown.
- In a bowl combine your mustard, mayo and golden onion soup mix. Mix until well combined.
- Dice your pickles and tomatoes and sprinkle with celery salt.
- When your sausage bundles are golden brown remove them from the oven and place on a serving platter.
- You can place the tomato, pickle and mustard in small bowls so that people can top their hot dogs they way they want or you can top them with the mustard, tomatoes and pickles.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do. Make them for your next party, game night or for football watching. As always, thank you for reading and happy eating!

Question….what kind of biscuits did you use? Thereés such a variety out there. I went with Grands Original and Iém not liking how they are cooking but I havenét given up hope yet. Also, dill pickle or sweet? Never had a Chicago dog (West coaster here) so Iém not sure which is proper. Go Notre Dame…ités game time!
