Ya know, I love hot dogs. Any way, any time. After recently making some grilled Chicago dogs and Seattle Dogs, I decided I had to make grilled Boston hot dogs next. They’re super easy, and very, very tasty. These are not some wimpy, skimpy-on-the-toppings hot dogs. So don’t grab some wimpy el cheapo hot dog buns to serve them on. Grab those big deli ones. The strong ones. You’ll need them!

These dogs are named after the wonderful city of Boston for a reason! Some of the best flavors of the city are in each bite! Make sure you have a great Irish beer nearby to complete the experience!

The Perfect Combination

You can’t beat the combination of hot dog relish, baked beans, chopped onions, mustard, and ketchup. There’s an explosion of flavor in every bite, but they’re still simple dogs. You could easily throw all of the ingredients into a small cooler and head to the local park and grill up a quick tasty lunch.

I used Hebrew National’s jumbo beef franks for these grilled Boston hot dogs. They have great flavor.

Cookin’ Dogs

Hey, cook the dogs however you want, on whatever you want. Griddle. Grill. Stovetop. Boiled. Broiled. Steamed. Baked. I don’t care. I don’t mean that in a snobby way. I’m just saying you do you. I happen to like mine grilled or air-fried. I get a crunchy skin. And I like that. And I can throw the buns on the grill or into the air fryer if I want them toasted (and I do). I often like to cut a thin slit lengthwise down my hot dog before cooking it. That slit will open up a bit as the dog heats. When I put it on the bun, I put the hot dog slit face-up. It gives the toppings a wonderful place to go. And stay. They don’t pop out with each and every bite!
