Ultimate Grilled Hot Dog and Burger Feast

Ingredients

For the Hot Dogs:
- 8 all-beef hot dogs
- 8 hot dog buns
- ½ cup ketchup
- ½ cup yellow mustard
- ½ cup diced onions
- 1 cup sauerkraut (optional)

For the Hamburgers:
- 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 leaves lettuce
- ½ cup pickles
- ½ cup mayonnaise

Instructions

1. Prepare the Grill:
- Light the charcoal grill and allow it to heat until coals are covered with gray ash. This will take approximately 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Hot Dogs:
- While waiting for the grill, slice the hot dog buns and arrange condiments (ketchup, mustard, diced onions, and sauerkraut) in serving dishes.

3. Shape the Hamburger Patties:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until well combined.
- Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

4. Grill the Hot Dogs:
- Place the hot dogs on the heated grill, turning occasionally until evenly charred and heated through, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
- Transfer grilled hot dogs onto buns and add desired condiments.

5. Grill the Hamburgers:
- Place burger patties on the grill. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- In the last minute of grill time, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Allow cheese to melt slightly before removing patties from heat.

6. Assemble the Hamburgers:
- Prepare hamburger buns by spreading mayonnaise on the inside of both halves.
- Add grilled patties to the buns, followed by tomato slices, pickles, and lettuce.
- Serve the burgers alongside the hot dogs.
