Scale
Hot Dogs and Buns
- 8 jumbo hot dogs
- 8 hot dog buns
Toppings
- Ketchup, to taste
- Mustard, to taste
- Relish, to taste
- Chopped onion, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to high heat to prepare for cooking the hot dogs evenly.
- Prepare the Hot Dogs: Use a fork to make a few small pokes in each hot dog. This helps prevent them from bursting while grilling.
- Adjust the Heat: Turn the grill heat down to medium to avoid burning the hot dogs and allow them to cook through slowly.
- Position Hot Dogs: Place the hot dogs over indirect heat, meaning not directly over the flames. This helps them cook evenly without charring too quickly.
- Grill the Hot Dogs: Grill the hot dogs for 5 to 6 minutes total, turning every 1 to 2 minutes to get grill marks on all sides and ensure they are cooked thoroughly.
- Assemble and Serve: Place each grilled hot dog into a bun and add your favorite toppings such as ketchup, mustard, relish, and chopped onion. Serve immediately.
Notes

- Grilling over indirect heat helps cook the hot dogs evenly without burning the exterior.
