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.

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.

Muffuletta Hot Dog

This is my take on a great recipe posted by Jessica at Cajunlicious, one of my most favorite blogs to follow. Sadly, Cajunlicious is no more. Happily, I snagged the recipe for a muffuletta hot dog before it disappeared. And speaking of disappearing, that’s what happened to this scrumptious dish. I love muffuletta sandwiches. I love hot dogs. Now I can have both in one bite! This is nothing but a big win for me. Olive salad and hot dogs isn’t that big of a stretch when you think of it. Isn’t a hot dog just sandwich meat in a tube? Yeah… kinda.

Muffuletta Hot Dog

One Fantastic Hot Dog

I often make my own olive salad, but I had a bit of Boscoli’s left over from making a muffuletta pasta salad so I used that instead for this muffuletta hot dog. The end result was fantastic!

Southwestern Hot Dog

Mayonnaise on a hot dog can be a beautiful thing. Though, I can honestly say that it’s not anything I had growing up. I was a ketchup-on-a-hot-dog kid. I didn’t like the tang of mustard. This southwestern hot dog is one of the hot dogs that keeps me believing in keeping an open mind when it comes to topping dogs. Or anything else for that matter.

Southwestern Hot Dog

Mayo On A Hot Dog? What?

Times have changed, and I’ll put just about anything on a hot dog. Including mayonnaise. These southwestern hot dogs are awesome. The ingredients list looks pretty normal. Don’t let the mayo throw you. You gotta go for it. Give it a try. You’ll like it.

If you don’t have (or want to make) fresh pico de gallo, use jarred or substitute salsa instead.

Spiraled Hot Dogs

Just tossing a few dogs on the grill is a quick way to get dinner done. But those plain-old looking dogs can get mighty boring after a while. Of course you can put all sorts of fancy toppings on them (my favorite is the Chicago dog or just chili, onions and cheese). Another simple way to visually jazz them up is to score them in a spiral pattern, making spiraled hot dogs. This not only looks cool, it also gives your condiments a way to hold on to the dog.

Spiraled Hot Dogs

Easy Once You Get The Hang Of It

To make the spiral, just start on one end with a sharp knife held at a 30-to-45 degree angle (the sharper the angle, the less spirals you’ll get) and start to rotate the dog. I find it’s easier to do with the dog standing up on one end. Start at the top with the knife, rotating the dog until the knife gets to the bottom.

For an extra flash, score the ends with a ‘+’ sign, 1/4″-1/2″ deep.

Grill the dogs until they puff up pretty and golden brown!
