It’s officially summertime and that means getting outside to grill out! Who doesn’t love a good ol’ hot dog? Time to ditch the regular mustard (and/or ketchup) and relish topped dogs and try a Carolina BBQ Hot Dog!
Have you ever had Carolina-style BBQ? It’s a mustard/vinegar based sauce that is nice and tangy. Most Carolina BBQ I’ve had is usually topped with sweet-crisp coleslaw! Imagine all of that goodness right on top of your delicious hot dog! To balance out the flavors, some fresh jalapeno slices are added for a pop of heat and some crispy fried onions to add a little crunch! You’ll be saying buh-bye to the old standard hot dog when you try this!
*Please note this is a recipe that is a “use as much or as little” of the ingredients that you like. There are no specific measurements to this one!
Ingredients:
Cooked Hot Dogs, grilled or steamed until cooked/heated through
Carolina BBQ Sauce (use your favorite brand, these are also good with a tomato-based BBQ sauce as well)
Prepared Coleslaw
Fresh Jalapeno slices
French Fried Onions from the can (the kind that’s used for green bean casserole)
Hot Dog buns
I steamed my hot dogs today, but you can grill yours if you prefer.
Place the cooked hot dogs on a hot dog bun. Drizzle the desired amount of Carolina BBQ sauce your little heart likes onto the hot dog.
Top the hot dog with coleslaw, jalapeno slices, and the French fried onions.
