Nothing beats a good ole hot dog off the grill. And there’s no need to just heap on the mustard or relish and call it done. You can throw just about anything that’s in your fridge on a dog (including mayo!). These Memphis-Style BBQ hot dogs have that great down-south flavor from smoky bacon and barbecue sauce, topped with gooey cheese, and kicked up with green onions and jalapeno slices.

Choose A Good BBQ Sauce

I used a spicy BBQ sauce on these Memphis-style BBQ hot dogs. You can go with sweet or smoky, or whatever suits your fancy. To stick to the Memphis theme you’ll want a smoky sauce, preferably with hints of hickory. To really stick with that theme, you’d want to serve the sauce on the side as many Memphis BBQ joints do.
