- 8 classic hot dog buns
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Mayonnaise (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6-8 small pickled gherkins
- 1/2 cup chopped onions (raw or grilled)
- 3/4 cup diced tomatoes
- Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or chives)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F to 400°F.
- If desired, make shallow diagonal cuts in the hot dogs to help them cook evenly and develop a nice char.
- Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through with light grill marks.
- During the last 1 to 2 minutes, place the buns on the grill to lightly toast them, watching closely so they do not burn.
- Remove the hot dogs from the grill and place each one into a toasted bun.
- Add condiments and toppings as desired, then serve warm.
Notes
- Turn grilled hot dogs every 1 to 2 minutes so they cook evenly without burning
- Use medium-high heat to prevent grilled hot dogs from splitting
- For cookouts, grill hot dogs in batches and keep them warm on indirect heat
- Grilled hot dogs are fully heated when they reach an internal temperature of 160°F
