Hot dogs have a reputation for simplicity, and we love a classic no-frills ‘dog as much as the next guy. But sometimes you want to mix it up, which is why we’ve rounded up a few of the best creative hot dog recipes on the web.
So grab your Fletcher’s all-beef Mariners Dogs or our Old-Fashioned Franks and fire up the grill. Which recipe will you try first?
Sonoran Dog: Originating in Tucson, Arizona, the Sonoran Dog is a magical medley of bacon-wrapped sausage with unusual toppings like pinto beans, avocado, spicy mayonnaise, and pico de gallo.
Hawaiian Hot Dogs with Mango Salsa: This recipe from A Spicy Perspective is gorgeous and colorful with a sweet mango salsa, then drizzled with Hawaiian-style pineapple mustard.
Breakfast Hot Dogs: Think a hot dog isn’t a breakfast food? Country Cleaver says you should look again. This looks like a fantastic way to start the day!
Pizza Hot Dog: This recipe from Real Simple tops a basic hot dog with marinara, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil for a delicious Italian twist.

There are enough ways to get creative with your hot dogs that you could probably get away with serving them several times a week, and nobody would even notice. What’s your favorite non-traditional hot dog topping?
