Spiral Hot Dogs with Queso Sauce

Anything on a stick is fun to eat. Especially if there are BBQ sauce and cheese involved. These spiral hot dogs are served with a queso dipping sauce that has the added bonus of being a fantastic dip for tortilla chips.

Spiral Hot Dogs with Queso Sauce

Adding Worcestershire sauce to BBQ sauce really adds a great flavor to these spiral hot dogs with queso sauce. People are expecting straight-up, normal BBQ sauce. Instead they get a nice surprise when they take that first bite. Try it at least once without the cheese. Then take that tasty dog and dunk it (deep) into that queso sauce and you’ve got a dog to remember. The spirals will help keep both the BBQ sauce and cheese sauce on the dogs. Not on the plate. That doesn’t do you any good. You want them in every bite!

Ingredients

For the dogs

For the queso sauce

  • ¼ pound Velveeta cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Banh Mi Hot Dogs

This is my take on Banh Mi hot dogs. It’s simple and straightforward. Nothing fancy. There’s a great contrast between the vinegary carrots, the cold crunchy cucumbers, creamy mayo, and of course the raw heat from the jalapenos. The carrot and cucumber mix is really what makes these dogs so great. It is also great on sandwiches or even hamburgers.

Banh Mi Hot Dogs

Freshly Different

For a little extra kick, mix in some Sriracha with the mayo. Mmmmm good! Or if heat isn’t your thing, leave off the jalapenos and still enjoy some great Banh Mi hot dogs. Also check if your local grocery store carries Japanese mayonnaise. It’s a bit thicker and not as sweet as your typical mayo.

Deli Hot Dogs

I wasn’t really skeptical about how these deli hot dogs would turn out. Well, maybe a bit. I wasn’t sure how the egg salad would taste on a hot-off-the-grill all-beef dog.

Well, my worries were unfounded because the combination is wonderful. I used well-chilled egg salad, which contrasted perfectly with the hot grilled hot dog. The black pepper is a must. It gives just a little ‘bite’ to contrast the creaminess of the egg salad.

Deli Hot Dogs

I Like Mine Spicy

I topped the deli hot dogs with McClure’s spicy pickle relish. It is amazing and has a great kick to it. Like the black pepper it contrasts well with the creamy potato salad. Come to think of it, everything from McClure’s is great. You can of course use a non-spicy pickle relish if you want. Or don’t use relish at all!

Grilled San Antonio Hot Dog

Sloppy, dripping, spicy good. That’s really all you need to know. The best dogs, like a grilled San Antonio hot dog, make a big mess. Same goes for sandwiches and burgers, come to think of it. The messier the better. Wonder why we all love Sloppy Joes? Because they’re sloppy! Same thing applies here! I love chili on a hot dog. And cheese sauce, well that’s a given. And jalapenos for a kick! This is the ultimate dog!

Grilled San Antonio Hot Dog

Big Dogs Big Flavor

I used large all-beef dinner dogs to make this grilled San Antonio hot dog. Bigger dogs make for more flavor. And they cover the buns from end-to-end, side-to-side. My goodness, how I get sad when I see tiny wieners on a big ole bun. Your first four bites are nothing but bun! We aren’t having buns! We’re having hot dogs on buns! And while we’re on the subject of sadness, why is it so hard to find a package of hot dogs that matches the number of buns in a package? Can we get some coordination on that? 8 dogs? 8 buns!

Notes

I like to cut a shallow slit down the length of my hot dogs before cooking. It opens up a bit when cooking, giving the toppings a little place to go and not fall off when you take a bite!

Buffalo Hot Dogs

Wow, I was blown away by these Buffalo hot dogs. They’re crazy easy to make, but they have a little wing-like kick (thanks to plenty of Frank’s RedHot sauce) and the blue cheese absolutely go great with hot grilled all-beef hot dogs. Wing sauce on a hot dog is a great thing. Skip the ketchup.

Buffalo Hot Dogs

Look Different. Taste Fantastic.

The celery and carrot topping added a nice crunch to these dogs. I have to admit, when I order or make chicken wings, I tend to skip the veggies. But, these dogs need them.

Pickle Hot Dogs

Nothing beats a hot dog straight off the grill, mounded high with fresh toppings. These simple pickle dogs have a great contrast between the beef hot dog and the crunch and bite of fresh cucumber, dill pickle, and relish. Sure, you’ve put pickle relish on your hot dogs before, but this takes that idea to a whole new level. It’s like having a taste of summer in each bite. These are what summer is all about: grilling outside and fresh ingredients.

Pickle Hot Dogs

Fresh. Crunchy. Delicious.

I topped some of these hot dogs with yellow mustard, but honestly, they’re great without it. You really don’t need to add any condiments beyond the dill pickle relish that’s already there.

I like to keep the cucumber and pickle pieces large. I don’t want to turn them into relish or even salsa. For me, I’m looking for nice big chunks that I can bite into and really get the flavor from. And I prefer them to be a little cold, too. So I’ll toss them into the fridge for 15 minutes or so just before it’s time to start chopping them.

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

Grilled Cincinnati Hot Dog

Ah, hot dogs. One of my favorite things. And you can put almost anything on them. Lately, I’ve been making more traditional hot dogs, such as the Boston hot dog, or the Chicago dog. Like the others, this grilled Cincinnati hot dog is very tasty, and very easy.

Grilled Cincinnati Hot Dog

Real Cincinnati Chili Is Required

The key to a great grilled Cincinnati hot dog is to use real Cincinnati chili, which has a hint of cinnamon. I used some chili I picked up from Skyline Chili. If you don’t have a Skyline Chili near you, check the canned chili section of your local grocery store as Skyline also sells a canned version of their famous chili but you can also make my slow cooker Cincinnati chili.

Grilled Boston Hot Dogs

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!

Grilled Boston Hot Dogs

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.

Seattle-Style Hot Dogs

Mmmmmm. Oh my goodness. Where have I been that I didn’t know that slathering cream cheese on a hot dog is just about the best thing ever? This simple approach to Seattle-style hot dogs is a fantastic way to jazz up your ‘usual’ hot dog.

Seattle-Style Hot Dogs

Fancy. And Good.

I used pickled pepper rings, but you can substitute jalapenos instead for a little kick. To make your Seattle-style hot dogs look a bit out-of-the-ordinary, cut a ‘+’ pattern in the ends before tossing them onto the grill. The ends will separate and give the dogs a different look. You can also cut them into spirals and amaze everyone (plus they hold ingredients better!).

These are delicious hot dogs with a great twist that everyone will enjoy.

The Chicago Dog

Whenever I go out for a gourmet dog at DJ’s Hot Dog Company (sadly now closed), I always grab the Chicago Dog. I love the crunchy vegetables, celery salt, and of course, the neon pickle relish. Now, thanks to Russell van Kraayenburg’s new book, Haute Dogs, I am able to make an equally fantastic version of this classic hot dog (and many others) at home. If you’re into hot dogs like I am, you’ll enjoy the many recipes in the book.

The Chicago Dog

It’s Like Having A Tasty Dog Salad

Make sure you make more than one of these Chicago dogs because you can’t just eat one. I always think ‘fresh’ when I have one of these dogs. There’s lots going on in every bite. Fresh things. I feel good about eating a hot dog. Kinda odd, but that’s how it is. They just make me happy!
