Do this next time you cook up some hot dogs. Take a few hot dogs and roll them in Cajun seasoning before cooking them on the grill. Get them covered all around, end to end. That’s it. The result? Totally great tasty twists on a regular ole hot dog, Cajun hot dogs. They have a nice little flavor that makes your hot dogs different. You don’t want boring hot dogs. What’s the point of going through the trouble of cooking if all you’re going to end up with is boring?
These Cajun hot dogs combine great kick with cool pico de gallo. Each bite is fantastic. And the chile mayonnaise? Use it on hamburgers too or to spice up ho-hum sandwiches.
There’s no reason to have boring tasteless dogs. You have to give marinating your hot dogs a try too.
