Grilled hot dogs with hot Creole blender sauce is the bomb. It’s mustardy and a bit hot (as you kinda figured). And there’s bacon. The bacon and sauce really compliment each other perfectly. The sauce would also make for a fantastic dipping sauce for corn dogs now that I think about it. Actually the sauce would be great anywhere you normally use mustard. Just use this sauce instead.

I used Zatarain’s Creole Mustard to make the sauce for these grilled hot dogs with hot Creole blender sauce. It is my favorite mustard by far. I love it so much I have a subscription for it on Amazon. I can’t even think of what would happen if I ran out of it. So, I have to keep it on hand at all times! You can substitute a good grainy mustard too.

You’ll need peppadew peppers to make the sauce. If you can’t find peppadews, you can substitute roasted red peppers, with a bit of hot sauce added for kick. In a big pinch you can substitute some well-drained pimentos.

Slicing your hot dogs before cooking helps ensure that the toppings don’t slide off. And that’s a good thing!

Ingredients

For the hot dogs

4 hot dogs
8 slices bacon cooked and broken into large chunks
4 hot dog buns

For the sauce

½ tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small sweet diced
2-4 hot peppers I used jalapenos, minced
1 Peppadew pepper pickled, finely chopped, plus some liquid from the jar
2 cloves garlic minced
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
½ cup grainy mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Instructions

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat.
Add the onion and peppers and saute until the onion is soft.
Add garlic and cook another minute.
Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Allow to cool.
Place onion mixture into a blender. Add mustard and mayonnaise and pulse until combined. If too thick, add a bit of the liquid from the peppadew jar. You want the sauce to be thick, but still easy to spread.
Grill the hot dogs and toast the buns as desired.
Place dogs on buns and top with blender sauce and bacon chunks.
