A good hot dog doesn’t need much, but the right toppings can make all the difference. These Everglades Gold Pretzel Dogs come together in minutes and are the kind of easy recipe everyone will reach for seconds of.
Ingredients:
-
4 all-beef hot dogs
-
4 pretzel hot dog buns
-
1/2 cup dill pickle relish
-
1 cup crispy fried onions
-
1/2 cup Tabañero Everglades Gold BBQ Sauce
-
1 tbsp butter, softened
Instructions:
-
Cook the Hot Dogs: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hot dogs and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through with a lightly charred, golden-brown exterior.
-
Toast the Pretzel Buns: Spread the inside of each pretzel bun with softened butter. Place the buns cut-side down on the grill or skillet and toast for 1–2 minutes, just until warmed through and lightly golden.
-
Build the Pretzel Dogs: Nestle one hot dog into each toasted pretzel bun, then spoon the dill pickle relish evenly over the top.
-
Add the Crunch: Finish with a generous layer of crispy fried onions, letting them pile high for plenty of texture in every bite.
-
Drizzle with Everglades Gold BBQ Sauce: Generously drizzle Tabañero Everglades Gold BBQ Sauce over each pretzel dog, letting the sauce work its way through the toppings.
-
Serve: Serve immediately while the pretzel buns are warm and the fried onions are still crisp. Pass extra Tabañero Everglades Gold BBQ Sauce on the side for dipping or an extra drizzle.
Tip: For even more flavor, give the pretzel buns a light brush of Everglades Gold BBQ Sauce before adding the hot dogs. It adds an extra layer of that signature tangy, spicy flavor throughout the whole pretzel dog.
