For what it's worth, I did a keto hotdog taste test. I bought 100% beef hotdogs from Costco, Sam's Club and some Ballpark hotdogs to compare them to a name brand.
The Ballpark dogs were the worst. The Sam's Club ones were thicker than my hot dog toaster (yes I have a hot dog toaster) could accommodate, but the Costco hot dogs were the clear winner.
Get the "bun sized" hotdogs, BTW.
Also, if you eat 6 hot dogs with high fiber keto-buns over a single day, be prepared to fart and shit all day.
Since you have them anyway, just boil them in water.
You could also saute them and mix with your filler of choice (or put on a bun, still good especially with Italian seasoning).
@realman543 I prefer to grill hotdogs, which is why I like the hot dog toaster.
Again, don't grill often, but I imagine you could add some aromatic herbs to the coals for a similar taste.
I personally recommend trying it sauteed with garlic and onions though. Butter or olive oil depending on preference. Fucking delicious. Mushrooms too if you're not opposed. Can make a mean hot dog.
@realman543 If I wanted to spend THAT much time cooking, I would make something OTHER than a hotdog.
So like cook up until hot dogs are mostly cooked through, add a small amount of water and then let sit for like 5-10 minutes (you may need to add more water if it starts to burn). You don't even have to watch it if you don't want to. I do this all the time for chicken stir-fry, so I admittedly don't have much experience with hot dogs but the basic concept should hold.
Also, if you're that opposed, it would be a decent "cheat" snack if you want a relatively cheap but totally delicious meal you can stuff your face with. I cannot overemphasize my love for this style of hot dog.
@realman543 It's not about the time, it's about the meat. If I'm going to saute veggies, I'll use some chicken or something, not cut up a hot dog. The whole point of hot dogs is that they're fast and cheap.
