  • Author: Nora Bennett
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 hot dogs (beef, pork, or turkey)
– 8 hot dog buns
– ½ cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
– ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)
– ¼ cup mayonnaise
– ¼ cup ketchup
– 2 tablespoons hot sauce (more or less to taste)
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, diced onions, or lime wedges


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your delicious Firecracker Hot Dogs:

1. Preheat Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.

2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

3. Grill the Hot Dogs: Place the hot dogs on the preheated grill. Cook them for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until they are heated through and have grill marks.

4. Prepare the Buns: During the last couple of minutes of grilling, place the hot dog buns on the grill to toast them lightly.

5. Assemble the Firecracker Hot Dogs: Once the hot dogs are ready, place each one inside its toasted bun.

6. Add the Firecracker Elements: Top each hot dog with jalapeños and shredded cheese, allowing the heat from the dog to slightly melt the cheese.

7. Drizzle with Sauce: Generously drizzle the sauce you prepared earlier over the hot dogs, making sure to coat them evenly.
