Method: Direct grilling
You’ll also need: A cast iron Dutch Oven
- Set the EGG for direct cooking at 450°F/232°C.

- Prepare the egg noodles according to the package. Strain, add butter, salt to taste, and set aside.
- Add EVOO and chopped sweet onions to the Dutch Oven on the Big Green Egg and sauté until golden brown. Add sliced hot dogs and continue to brown with the oil and onions.

- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat by closing the top and bottom vents and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10–15 minutes.
- Serve over egg noodles or in a bowl like chili. Top with green onions before serving. Enjoy!
