Ingredients To Make Brazilian Hot Dogs

8 hot dogs
8 hot dog buns
2 tbsp butter
15 oz tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1 onion diced
1 green pepper diced
4 garlic cloves minced
3 tsp salt or to taste
1/2 tsp ground black pepper or to taste
1/2 tsp oregano or to taste

Toppings

8 oz corn canned
8 oz peas canned
8 oz shoestring potato sticks batata palha
ketchup
mayonnaise
mustard
parmesan cheese
parsley

Instructions

First, start by chopping and dicing the green pepper, onion and mincing the garlic cloves.
Make a length wise cut down the center of each of your hot dogs. Do not cut through them or slice them completely.
Add butter to a sauce pan over medium high heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the green peppers and onions. Saute until the onions become translucent.
Add the garlic and saute for about 30 seconds.
Pour in the tomato sauce and water. Give everything a quick stir.
Once the tomato sauce begins to boil, lower the heat to medium low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir the tomato sauce occasionally.
Once the tomato sauce has been simmering for 23 minutes, add the hot dogs. Cover and continue to cook for the next 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
It’s time to build your Brazilian hot dogs! Place a hot dog inside a bun and add more tomato sauce on top.
Add the additional toppings to your “cachorro quente Brasileiro” such as peas, corn, parmesan cheese, shoestring potato sticks (batata palha), ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and even some hot sauce or pimenta malagueta if you’d like.
Top the hot dogs with parsley for garnishing, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to use good quality hot dogs for this recipe. I highly recommend these Nathan’s skinless beef franks.
It’s important to stir the tomato sauce occasionally as it is simmering so you do not burn the bottom.
Check the tomato sauce for salt before adding the hot dogs. If you think it needs more salt, add more according to taste.
Add 1/2 tsp of crushed red pepper to the tomato sauce if you want a little kick. We usually serve these Brazilian hot dogs at birthday parties and since kids don’t really enjoy spicy food, we just serve some hot sauce or pimenta malagueta on the side for whoever likes the kick.
