Method
Start by making the patties. Add your hot dogs to a food processor, and pulse until the size of breadcrumbs. You may need to add a splash of water to help it break down. Add the egg and panko.
Shape into patties, and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Fry in a pan with a splash of vegetable oil, until golden brown on both sides. Brush with mustard, and finish with a slice of cheese on each patty and allow to melt. Remove from the pan and toast the buns in the same pan.
Build your burger. Mustard on the bottom, then raw onion, tomato slices, burger patties, pickles, relish, and pepperoncinis, followed by the top bun. Enjoy!
