Simply take a bun from the package and gently open the pre-cut slit. Place your cooked hot dog inside. Add your preferred condiments such as ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, or sauerkraut. These buns are also versatile enough to be used for other sausage types or even as a base for small sandwiches. They are ready to eat straight from the package, or can be lightly warmed for a softer texture.
