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?
