Creative Hot Dog Recipes

Few things are as ripe with summer imagery as grabbing a hot dog or grilling one up yourself with friends and family. Whether you’re at a baseball game, at a picnic, or just cooling off in your apartment at the end of a long day, hot dogs are a classic way to go. So it only makes sense that The Block Townhomes is highlighting hot dogs this month. Below, we highlight a few recipes you can use when you want to chow down on the best dogs around.

Kimchi Hot Dogs

Kimchi usually takes time to age if you’re making it from scratch, but this recipe pulls from a ready-to-go kimchi for its relish. Matched with a bit of honey and rice vinegar and Korean hot mustard and your hot dogs will go from boring to talk of the town in no time. The prep time and cook time combine to be about fifteen minutes, and this recipe serves four.

BLT Hot Dogs

There’s not much more of a summer classic than crispy bacon, freshly cut lettuce, and thinly diced tomatoes with a layer of mayo on a sandwich. Unless, of course, you take that and add it all to a hot dog. And just sticking with regular mayo is too easy — the creamy caraway pickled mayo dressing on top is to die for, in our opinion. While this recipe takes about a half hour to make, we promise it’s worth the effort.

Of course, you can always head to the park here in Starkville, MA  and grill your own version of  brats or burgers yourself (try a little celery salt added to your hot dog relish). If you’re using a charcoal grill we’ve got tips about How to Grill Perfect Hot Dogs and Burgers. If you’ve been looking for a portable grill, we recommend checking out these reviews from the BBQGuys.  However you cook it, enjoy a hot dog this summer! Thanks for reading today’s post.
