Recipe: Loaded Hot Dog
Hot Dogs are a grilling staple. They’re sure to please everyone, but why settle for just a drizzle of ketchup and mustard? Try this Loaded Hot Dog, created by our Pitmasters. We wrap each hot dog in bacon, before loading them onto the grill. If that’s not satisfyin’ enough, we top each one with cheese, caramelized vegetables and Sonny’s Smokin BBQ Sauce.
