I like the idea of hot dogs more than I actually like hot dogs. Every now and then I get a craving for one and throw it on the grill but it's always slightly disappointing. It's never as good as I think it'll be. I need to learn to just stick with hamburgers. Those are never disappointing.
Make sure to get 100% beef hot dogs for a less disappointing experience.
Or hot links.
Or currywurst.
Polar opposites experience for me. All beef Oscar Meyers are oily gross pieces of trash that only belong in the bin.
Combined meat though? I could eat them plain, in a sandwich, on a pizza, fried for breakfast. Mmmmm.
Cheap BarQs can go in casserole, Mac and cheese and ramen.
I agree that normal dogs are excellent starchy-meal augmenters.
... Are they really that much better on the grill? You're legitimately making me rethink this.
In my opinion! But, I'm going to be honest with you; if I have my way, I'm buying cheddarwurst over hot dogs of any variety every time. Once I discovered it was possible to buy dogs infused with cheese, I've never seen any reason to do anything else :-)
I'm very much so the same. My advice, to fill that craving, is a smoked sausage, cooked until it's blackened. So good. So much better than hotdogs.
With peppers and onion sautéed or sauerkraut/kimchee if your into that.
Yes, OMG. All the cabbages
Before you put them on the grill, slice them about half way through diagonally on one side and diagonally again in the other side in the same way ... the hot dog will expand across the entire length and crisp along the cut edges. More crisp makes it taste better and the longer length actually fits the length of your bun.
Sometimes, I will slice them (not all the way through) longways and boil them.
Most of the fat and salt will boil out and they are very light and nice.
If you happen not to eat them and they then cool and dry, they will be very small.
Instead of hotdogs, get something that actually has taste. Either bratwurst or hot Italian sausage.
