Simple and delicious. Like a grilled dog should be. Serve these hot dogs with spicy sauce and grilled onions at your next backyard get-together and people will wonder why they’ve just been squeezing mustard onto their dogs for all these years.

I used one of my favorite hot sauces, Louisiana Hot Sauce, to kick these dogs up a bit. Louisiana hot sauce has some heat and spice, but it isn’t overpowering at all. And it’s not overly vinegary like some hot sauces. For the BBQ sauce I used Weber’s no-high fructose corn syrup Sweet’N Spicy sauce, which packs a nice punch too.

Also try my Islander hot dogs.
