If this isn’t considered a hot dog, I don’t know what is! We had so much fun putting together these loaded hot dogs with all of our favorite toppings, and we can’t wait to do it again.
How to cook hot dogs on the grill
You’ll be surprised at how fast hot dogs cook on the grill, and how much more delicious they are compared to boiled or baked hot dogs.
Here are some simple directions to get perfectly grilled hot dogs each and every time.
- Heat up your grill to medium temperature, making sure it’s not too hot or you will scorch your dogs on the flames.
- Place your hot dogs on the grill, but DON’T walk away! To avoid them from burning you’ll need to stay nearby to rotate them.
- Rotate your hot dogs every 30 or so seconds making sure they don’t scorch. Rotating will also give your hot dogs perfect grill marks.
- Once your hot dogs start to expand, they are done. This usually takes 5-7 minutes.
If you like your buns a little toasted, butter them and place them face down on the grill for a few minutes too. You can’t go wrong with a good hot dog and bun!
