Grilled hot dogs with hot Creole blender sauce is the bomb. It’s mustardy and a bit hot (as you kinda figured). It’d also make for a fantastic dipping sauce for corn dogs now that I think about it.

I used Zatarain’s Creole Mustard, which is my favorite mustard by far, but 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 use hot and sweet cherry peppers from Trader Joe’s, or in a pinch you can substitute roasted red peppers, with a bit of hot sauce added for kick.

Also try my grilled taco dogs.

Ingredients

For the hot dogs

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

For the sauce

• 1/2 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
• 1/2 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.
