Sandwich Roll Hot Dogs

I recently received a copy of Haute Dogs. It is chock full of hot dog ideas, along with other great recipes for things like fantastic relishes and yummy sauces. When I ran across this simple approach for sandwich roll hot dogs I just had to make them. Sure, they’re nothing fancy, but they look great!

Sandwich Roll Hot Dogs

They’re Fun To Make. And Eat.

If you can find foot-long hot dogs then you just need one dog per sandwich roll hot dog. Otherwise, just use two hot dogs for each roll. And don’t be shy when squirting the mustard and ketchup inside the rolls. No one will be expecting it.

I know it looks like a kinda crazy idea. But they are different and kinda cool, too. Everyone will be talking about them, that’s for sure!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cut a “tunnel” the length of the rolls that is just large enough to accommodate the hot dogs. I used a jalapeno corer to do this, but a thin sharp knife will also work.
  • Squirt mustard and ketchup into the tunnel.
  • Slide the dogs into the tunnel and squirt the ends with more mustard and ketchup.

Notes

Also great made with smoked sausages.

Southern-Style Picnic Hot Dogs

Sure, these southern-style picnic hot dogs are easy to make. And they’re good! Nothing beats the crunchy coolness of a good slaw with the heat of a nice hot chili sauce! Yum! Nothing fancy, just great! Great for a big cookout or picnic, it doesn’t get any easier. Sure, I’ve had chili dogs before. And I’ve put slaw on my dogs before. But never had I combined the two on one hot dog! Oh my goodness! What I’ve been missing all these years!

Southern-Style Picnic Hot Dogs

Great For Lunch Or Dinner Too.

These southern-style picnic hot dogs made for a quick dinner the other night. I used packaged slaw mix with Marzetti light slaw mix. While the dogs were grilling I warmed the chili.

Make sure you grab plenty of napkins when you bite into these dogs. You’re going to need them!

BBQ Hot Dog Appetizers

One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving dinner is the big selection of appetizers. You gotta have something to munch on while you’re waiting on the meal to get ready. These little BBQ hot dog appetizers are very easy, but also very tasty. Sure you can cheat and just toss some dogs with store-bought BBQ sauce. But, you’ll find that this homemade version is oh so much better.

BBQ Hot Dog Appetizers

The Perfect Super Bowl Snack

Of course, you can eat these any time of the year. They’re the perfect kind of treat that can be thrown together quickly when watching the big game.

This same recipe for BBQ hot dog appetizers would also be great with smoke sausages cut into bite-sized pieces.

Hot Dogs with Avocado

These hot dogs with avocado were sooooo good. They disappeared in minutes, despite being so heavy you’ll want to grunt when you pick them up to take a bite. They’re just that good. The crispness of the onion is offset by the smooth sour cream and avocado, the citrus kick of fresh lime, and just a slight hint of heat.

Hot Dogs with Avocado

Loaded. And Then Some.

These hot dogs with avocado are much, much more than the name implies. They’re loaded. They’re heavy. There’s all sorts of flavors going on. Heat. Creamy. Crunchy. Smooth. Pick an adjective and it’s got it. I love them. This recipe takes a plain old hot dog (or smoked sausage) and really, really up’s the game.

Ingredients

For the salsa

  • 2 medium tomatoes seeded, diced
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper seeded, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro minced
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • kosher salt

For the hot dogs

  • 4 hot dogs spiral cut (read how to do it)
  • 4 hot dog buns
  • ¾ cup Monterey Jack cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • Red onion diced

Instructions

  • Gently combine all of the salsa ingredients.

  • Grill the hot dogs and lightly toast the buns.
  • Top each bun with a hot dog, some of the salsa, a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with a little red onion.

Notes

I like to make a shallow cut lengthwise down the dogs before cooking. This will allow them to open up a bit during cooking, giving the toppings a place to go.

Chili Dog Sauce

This is my go-to hot dog chili dog sauce. I let it slow cook for a while to get good and tender. And I also make a huge batch and freeze some for later. I have to have sauce on my dogs.

This chili dog sauce is also outstanding over burgers, topped with cheese and chopped onion.

Chili Dog Sauce

A Great Cookbook Find

I found this in The Real Chili Cookbook: America’s 100 All-Time Favorite Recipes. I found a copy at the Exit 76 Antique Mall for $3.50. Besides this recipe, I’ve made 5 or 6 of the chili recipes from the book and all have been fantastic. It’s one of the best finds I’ve made! As far as I’m concerned I more than got my money’s worth just with this chili sauce!

Instructions

  • Brown the ground beef and drain.
  • Add onion and garlic and cook another 5 minutes.
  • Add remaining ingredients and stir.
  • Simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. If the sauce gets too thin add a bit of water.
  • Note: You can also cover and slow-cook this sauce for a few hours if you wish. It comes out nice and tender. Cook it less for a chili sauce with a little more bite from the beef.
  • Update: I made this great sauce again over the weekend. Our grocery store was out of premium enchilada sauce, so I used a “lesser” brand. I ended up adding a good amount of hot chile powder to the mix, but it still came out fantastic.

Notes

Add a little diced jalapeno for a little kick.

Marinated Hot Dogs

Well, who would’ve thought about marinating hot dogs? Sure, I marinate pork, chicken and beef all of the time. But it never occurred to me to make marinated hot dogs. Well, trust me, these hot dogs are delicious! They’re packed with flavor, and super moist! Just like with marinating anything else, you’ll get a much better end result. These are surprisingly good. They’re a great thing to serve at a cookout because they will be the center of every discussion. So make a big batch today!

Marinated Hot Dogs

No Boring Dogs. Ever.

This simple idea for hot dogs really spices up plain old beef hot dogs. There’s no reason to make boring dogs when you just have to ‘soak’ them for an hour in Worcestershire sauce to end up with something so much better.

Oven-Baked Hot Dogs

Who would’ve thought… who would’ve known…. that oven-baked hot dogs could be soooo good? Maybe it was because I was just jonesin’ for a hot dog, but a glance outside made me realize that a grilled dog just wasn’t in my future. These baked ones came out just great! No need to fire up the grill, these dogs satisfied my cravings and then some!

Oven-Baked Hot Dogs

They’re Supposed To Be Messy

Hot Dogs with Onion, Chili, and Slaw

I was drooling over Chris’ Tennessee Smoky Hot Dogs post over on Nibble Me This, and thinking… boy, that sure sounds and looks great. But, I was in a bit of a hurry, so I changed it up to be a bit easier. These hot dogs with onion, chili, and slaw hit the spot. Just like slaw on pulled pork sandwiches, I love slaw on a hot dog. Add in some hot chili and crunchy onions and I’m in hot dog heaven.

Hot Dogs with Onion, Chili, and Slaw

Not Fancy. Just Good.

My hot dogs with onion, chili and slaw are not quite the same as Chris’, but the inspiration is there and so is the great flavor! Cool slaw really makes the show here. That creamy crunchiness contrasts the grilled dogs and chili perfectly.

Also give my hot dogs with spicy sauce and grilled onions a try!

Grilled Chicago Hot Dog

This is my take on a grilled Chicago hot dog. Now, don’t email me telling me I’ve broken some cardinal rule by grilling these (on my Weber grill!). I’ve had “real” Chicago dogs and love them. But if it’s not -45 F outside, I’m going to fire up a grill when I make some hot dogs. Nothing beats that great grill flavor. It just can’t be reproduced indoors. And that grill flavor comes thru in every bite. So yeah, these aren’t the true Windy City classic. But boy oh boy is it ever delicious!

Grilled Chicago Hot Dog

This grilled Chicago hot dog really came out great. I loved the fresh veggies on it. That cold crunch really added a lot to the taste. And it’s a great fresh contrast to the smoky grilled hot dog. This is a great twist on the classic.

Memphis-Style BBQ Hot Dogs

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.

Memphis-Style BBQ Hot Dogs

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.
