Top tips
- Chili hot dogs: A spectacular combination. The bread soaks in all the juiciness and flavors from the chili, and it turns into a party in your mouth. You can also use canned chili con carne, or better yet, try this recipe. You could also use this Texas Roadhouse chili recipe.
- Bacon-wrapped sausage: You don't need a bun to enjoy a good dog. Good quality crispy bacon-wrapped sausage topped with sweet and sour relish. This can be a great low-carb combo if you top it with Dijon mustard sauce instead of relish. You can also serve it with our lovely Mayo ketchup sauce, or with Wasakaka sauce.
- Avocado hot dog: You can make it with mini-baguette breads, they also make a good combination of texture and flavor.
- Cabbage and potato hot dog: Inspired by my favorite Dominican hot dog, this is a simplified version you may love as much as I do.
- Substituting sausage: For these recipes, I have used regular weiners, but you can try them with chicken or turkey hot dogs if you want. And now fiesta!
Serving suggestions
These are perfect with your favorite cold brew, and a side of potato chips.

I'm especially loving the bacon dog version, reminds me of my California days and the hot dog stands outside the Mexican markets. Yum!!
I have to say that this was a recipe inspired by a hot dog cart I saw in the streets of LA. They served it with chiles toreados.
Love these recipes, I am going to add them to my summer plans.
