This summer, while we are all spending our vacations a little closer to home than usual, take this opportunity to experiment and rocket your grilling skills to new heights! Ketchup, mustard and relish are staples to the classic hotdog, but it’s time to step up your game and really impress your friends and family at your next (socially distanced) backyard barbecue.
Here are some ideas on how to dress up the ultimate hot dogs this summer:
Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dogs
Bacon makes everything better, and that includes hot dogs! Pair our gourmet beef hot dogs with a package of our sliced bacon for mind-blowing results. Top your dog with the onion and sauerkraut and all the condiments to your heart’s desire. We think shredded mozzarella cheese would also make an amazing addition.

Tropical Dogs
Move over pineapple pizza. Tropical hot dogs are coming in HOT! Grill our gourmet beef hot dogs on the barbecue, serve on toasted buns and top with the pineapple and sweet cherry peppers. For those looking for an extra kick, we recommend adding a dash of sriracha over the pineapple. Bonus points for grilling the pineapple too!

BLT Hot Dogs with Caraway Remoulade
A BLT is a summer staple, and so are hot dogs. So, why not combine the two?! Introducing the BLT hot dog: a gourmet beef hot dog grilled to perfection, topped with crispy bacon, sweet, bursting tomatoes, and crunchy fresh lettuce. Talk about mouth-watering! Is it dinner time yet?

Grilled Italian Sausage With Sweet-and-Sour Peppers and Onions
This recipe is a little more hands-on than just tossing a couple of hot dogs on the grill, but the results are absolutely worth it. After cooking the sausage, serve over grill-toasted buns and top with the sweet and sour peppers. There will be no leftovers with this dish, trust us.
