Halve the onion and slice into strips. Add half of the butter or clarified butter to a pan and heat over medium heat. Add the onions to the pan and season with a pinch of salt. Slowly let them turn golden brown. Then add the sugar and caramelize a little more. Turn off the heat and transfer to a bowl. Place a pot of water on the stovetop, add a little salt, and bring to a boil. Add the sausages to the boiling water and heat. Meanwhile, cut the hot dog buns open (do not cut all the way through), spread with a little butter, fry in the pan until lightly brown, remove from the pan, and set aside. Remove the sausages from the water, cut them lengthwise, and fry in the pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Spread cream cheese on the bun, place the sausage on top, and top with onions, sauerkraut, pickles, mustard, and jalapeños. Adjust seasoning as desired, and enjoy.
