Ingredients
Scale
- 8 high-quality beef or mixed-meat hot dogs
- 8 fresh hot dog buns (brioche or classic)
- 1/2 cup yellow or Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup tomato ketchup
- 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
- 1 small white onion, finely diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños
- 1 cup warm chili (optional)
- 1 cup sauerkraut (drained)
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- Mayonnaise and BBQ sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Start by prepping all your cold toppings. Dice the onions and tomatoes, shred the cheese, and place the condiments into small, easy-to-access bowls. If you are serving chili or sauerkraut, warm them up on the stovetop or in a microwave and keep them in insulated containers or slow cookers to stay warm.
- Clean your grill grates and preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Ensure the grates are lightly oiled to prevent the hot dogs from sticking.
- Place the hot dogs on the grill grates. Cook them for about 5 to 7 minutes, turning them frequently with tongs. You are looking for a nice char on the outside and for the hot dogs to be heated through to the center.
- During the last minute of grilling, open the hot dog buns and place them face-down on the grill. Toast them for 30 to 60 seconds until they are lightly golden and warm. Watch them closely as they can burn very quickly!
- Transfer the hot dogs and toasted buns to a large platter. Arrange the bowls of toppings and condiments around the platter. Provide spoons for the toppings and napkins for the guests. Invite everyone to build their dream hot dog!
