Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Southern
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 hot dog buns
- 4 hot dogs
- 1 cup coleslaw mix
- 1/2 cup Slawsa
- 1 tablespoon mustard
Instructions
- Prepare your grill or stovetop grill pan by preheating to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F.
- While the grill is heating, remove hot dogs from packaging and pat dry with paper towels to ensure good grill marks and even cooking.
- If using a grill, place hot dogs directly on the grates. For stovetop, use a grill pan with light oil coating. Cook hot dogs, rotating every 2-3 minutes to achieve even char and grill marks.
- While hot dogs are grilling, lightly toast the hot dog buns. You can do this on the grill edges or in a separate toaster, aiming for a light golden-brown color.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine coleslaw mix with Slawsa and mustard. Gently mix until ingredients are well incorporated and evenly coated.
- Once hot dogs are thoroughly heated and have good grill marks (approximately 8-10 minutes), remove from heat.
- Place grilled hot dogs into toasted buns and generously top each with the prepared Slawsa coleslaw mixture.
- Serve immediately while hot dogs are warm and slaw is fresh, optionally accompanied by additional mustard or condiments.
Tips
- Pat your hot dogs dry before grilling to ensure beautiful grill marks and even cooking.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (375-400°F) for the best char and flavor.
- Rotate hot dogs every 2-3 minutes to prevent burning and achieve an even, appetizing color.
- Toast your buns lightly to add extra texture and prevent sogginess from the slaw.
- Mix the Slawsa coleslaw just before serving to keep the mixture fresh and crisp.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different mustard varieties like Dijon or spicy brown mustard.
- If you don't have a grill, a cast-iron skillet works great for achieving those perfect grill marks.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the hot dogs at their peak temperature and the slaw at its crunchiest.
