Creamy Seattle Hot Dogs

I’m tellin’ ya, cream cheese and hot dogs go together like peas and carrots. Or peanut butter and chocolate. The two were made for each other. Add a crazy delicious sweet onion sauce, mustard, and more onion (because hot dogs need more onion), and you’ve got one great hot dog. These creamy Seattle hot dogs were a big winner at dinner the other night. They’ll be a winner again tonight, too, because I made plenty of the topping. Hot dogs never have to be boring, and these are definitely not boring hot dogs!

Creamy Hot Dog Greatness

I’ve been known to put mayonnaise on my hot dog buns. Creamy yummy, is what I think of when I think of mayo. So really, cream cheese on a hot dog isn’t too much of a stretch. It’s just creamier. And yummier. So why wouldn’t I do it? Everything on top of this creamy Seattle hot dog is great. It’s a great bite, bite after bite.

I use a pretty straight-forward air fryer, that doesn’t have a lot of bells (ok, it has a bell for when the timer goes off!) and whistles. It gets the job done.

Blackened Chili Dogs

It was not boring hot dog day. But it also wasn’t fru-fru fancy overly-complicated hot dog day either. These blackened chili dogs hit the spot big time. And without a lot of trouble. A little seasoning on hot dogs before cooking them really amps up the flavor. You season hamburgers, right? Why not do the same with your dogs? One bite of these and my wife told me we’re not doing dogs any other way.

Blackened Chili Dogs

Roll, Roll, Roll Your Dogs

This isn’t some big huge complicated thing. Pour some seasoning out onto a plate or cutting board. Kinda spread it around evenly. Grab a hot dog and roll it around. Back and forth a few times. Get the seasoning all over. Don’t handle them rough, be gentle. You want maximum seasoning. Heck, stand them up and get the ends, too. We’re after flavor here!

Now just cook up your dogs. Grill. Air fryer. Oven. Whatever. Well, not whatever. Don’t boil them. That’d defeat the purpose. So don’t do that.

The seasoning ingredients make more than you’ll need. Store unused seasoning in an air-tight container.

Spicy Chili Cheese Hot Dogs

Chili and hot dogs go together like butter and popcorn. Or peas and carrots. Actually better than those pairings. Me, I like a little kick so I made spicy chili cheese hot dogs. That perfect pairing just got even better. And even better, they definitely satisfy my ‘messier is better’ theory because these dogs are definitely messy. Don’t be tempted to eat these with a fork and knife. That’s not right. You gotta get in there and get messy!

Spicy Chili Cheese Hot Dogs

Easy. Or Not.

You can take two routes when making some spicy chili cheese hot dogs. You could grab a can of meatless chili out of the pantry. And a jar of jalapeno queso. Even some pre-cut onions. In just a few minutes you could be enjoying these dogs. Or you could make some chili, throw together a cheese sauce, and go the from-scratch route. Either way, they’re gonna be good. It’s up to you.

If I’ve got the time I’ll cook my dogs on the grill. Nothing beats a juicy, beefy dog over charcoal. But if I don’t, it’s off the air fryer I got. Not only does the air fryer cook dogs up great, it also toasts the buns perfectly.

I use a pretty straight-forward air fryer, that doesn’t have a lot of bells (ok, it has a bell for when the timer goes off!) and whistles. It gets the job done.

Franks and Beans Hot Dogs

I love franks and beans. And I love hot dogs on a bun. Why not put the two together and have both in one bite? Well, you can sure bet Franks and Beans hot dogs are great. Delicious beefy (grilled in my case) hot dogs. Sweet baked beans. Bacon. Gotta have some back. Onion and mustard. All on a great bun. Yep, this is the hot dog of dreams!

Franks and Beans Hot Dogs

The No Messin’ Zone

Sure, I could probably come up with crazy ways to make these franks and beans hot dogs different. Put some kinda fru-fru mustard on them maybe. Use some weird spinach-infused cheddar dogs or something. Nope, this is not the time for that kind of messin’ around. These dogs are meant to invoke memories of a whole lot of franks and beans dishes and hot dogs eaten as a kid. And they do. Mission accomplished.

Hot Dogs on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

I could’ve fired up my gas grill to cook a batch of hot dogs. Or lit some charcoal. That’s when I had a ‘duh’ moment. The Big Easy! It cooks everything great, so why not use it! So that’s what I did and wow, I have to say it cooks up hot dogs about as quick and as easy as you could possibly get. Just fire it up, load it up and wait. Read a book, watch some TV, play a game, because there’s no turning, no worrying, no burning. Hot dogs on the Char-Broil Big Easy are done in no time and roasted perfectly! Say hello to the new way to cook up hot dogs!

Hot Dogs on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Pick Your Kabob

Char-Broil makes two different kabob sets for the Big Easy. One sits on the bottom of the Big Easy with the kabobs extending upwards. The other rests on top of the cooking basket with the kabobs pointing downward. Either one will work just fine for cooking up a nice big batch of hot dogs. There’s plenty of room in the Big Easy for jumbo dogs, too.

For something totally different, try marinating your hot dogs first.

Ingredients

  • 8 hot dogs you can also substitute fresh, uncooked sausages but you’ll have to increase the cook time

Instructions

  • Fire up your Big Easy.
  • Thread the hot dogs onto the Big Easy kabobs. If using the holder that points downward be sure you use the cotter pins or the dogs might slide down and off as they cook.
  • Lower the kabobs into the Big Easy and cook for 12 minutes or until done as desired.

Notes

I easily fit 8 regular-sized hot dogs onto the kabobs. I might could squeeze 8 more. If you use bun-length dogs you’ll only be able to fit 8.

Smoked Spiral Hot Dogs

What fun these smoked spiral hot dogs were to make and devour! I’ve made spiral dogs before, but this technique is much better than my old way. The key is inserting a skewer thru the dogs to keep them together after slicing. And of course, the skewer keeps you from slicing in too far. I smoked my spiral dogs, but you could just as easily grill them.

Good Mustard Makes A Good Dog Great

My wife and I recently ran across The Mustard Man at an event at the Jungle Jim’s market in Fairfield, OH. After sampling each of mustard I instantly picked up a bottle of each one. They are truly fantastic. I squeezed a bit of the Simple Pepper and Simply Maple on each of our smoked spiral dogs. The mustard runs down into the spirals, filling each bite with mustardy goodness. We cannot recommend The Mustard Man’s mustard enough!

Instructions

  • Fire up your smoker for 225 F. You can also make these hot dogs on a grill
  • Carefully guide the skewer through the center of the hot dogs. If you get the skewer crooked at it pokes out of the side of the dog just pull it back and try again. I found that laying the hot dogs down on a flat surface and sliding the skewer in from the side, parallel to the counter top, worked best.
  • Lay the skewered dog down onto a cutting board or flat surface.
  • Holding a knife at a 45 degree angle, starting at one end of the dog, cut into the dog down to the skewer. Start rolling the hot dog, keeping the knife inserted into the hot dog, making cuts that are about 1/2″ apart. Continue rolling and cutting until you reach the other end of the hot dog.
  • Gently pull the dog apart, separating the cuts. Be careful, you don’t want to break it.
  • Sprinkle with your favorite seasoning.
  • Place dogs onto the smoker and smoke for 2 hours. If grilling grill until done as desired.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

You can use this technique on any cooked sausage.

Steakhouse Hot Dogs

I’ve put onions on a hot dog before, sure. And I’ve even put steak sauce on a hot dog before. Why did it never occur to me until now to add tomatoes? Well, by golly, as simple as they are, these steakhouse hot dogs are downright delicious! Perfect for a picnic or family get-together. Not boring. Different. And really good. That great all-beef dog taste with steak sauce is awesome as is, but add the crunch of some onions and the cool tomato slices, and you’ve got a darned good dog. Grab two, and some chips.

Steakhouse Hot Dogs

Easy. But Oh So Good.

It’s possible that I might have slipped a few drops of hot sauce into the steak sauce before pouring it over my steakhouse hot dogs. All I’m saying is that it’s possible. Use your own discretion on that one.

Jumbo dogs on the Char-Broil Big Easy are crazy easy, and crazy good. The dogs get a great crispy crunchy casing that just pops in your mouth. The meat is tasty, moist and perfect!

Hot Dog Tomato Salad

What? Hot dogs in a fresh tomato salad? Well, that’s how my mom got me to eat tomatoes when I was a kid. I didn’t really like tomatoes then, but I was more than happy to sit down with a bowl of this hot dog tomato salad.

The key for me was to eat everything BUT the hot dogs first. This left the best part, hot dogs sitting in a great vinegary and oniony dressing. The dogs would soak up a bit of the vinegar and taste unlike any hot dog I’d ever had. Add strangely enough, I would drink up the remaining dressing. Odd, huh?

This Is A Childhood Favorite Of Mine

As much as it might sound a little odd, this is a great salad. You can leave out the hot dogs if you like, but I highly recommend adding them. Believe it or not, hot dogs and tomatoes go great together!
