Most of the kids at my cook-outs only wanted a plain bun with a grilled hot
dog. I was getting bored with the same
old cook-out classics. I am so glad the adults were cool with some new twists
on old classic barbecue/cook-out foods.
This no scratch cooking lady may even consider making homemade chili. I went
to church cook-out years ago. A lady offered me her homemade hot dog chili.
It was so good!
I searched online and in my cookbook collection for new recipe ideas for my
July 4th cook-out.
I'm going to share some of the ideas and recipes I found that seem interesting. I am in the process of making my shopping list for my July 4th cook-out. I'm going to start with doing something different with my hot dogs.
SPLIT HOT DOG IDEAS:
MAKE HORIZONTAL SPLIT DOWN CENTER OF HOT DOG SO IT CAN BE PLACED FACE DOWN ON GRILL. MAY HAVE TO FLATTEN WITH SPATULA SO ENDS WON'T CURL UP. SERVE ON TOASTED OPEN FACE HOT DOG BUNS.
SPLIT GRILLED HOT DOGS JUST ENOUGH TO ADD YOUR FAVORITE
CHEESE IN THE CENTER. HOT DOGS SHOULD BE WARM ENOUGH TO MELT CHEESE WHEN YOU PLACE IT IN THE BUN.
SPLIT GRILLED HOT DOGS JUST ENOUGH TO ADD STRIP OF COOKED BACON IN THE CENTER.
SLIDER DOGS:
I didn't realize that you could buy slider buns and hot dogs on line. It is too late
for me to order these now. I may do it
next time I have a holiday cook-out. I
must DYI my hot dog sliders this time.
I was thinking this would be good option for kids and adults with small appetites.
MY SLIDER HOT DOG PLAN:
CUT HOT DOGS IN HALF THEN GRILL THEM. THE ENDS OF THE HOT DOGS WILL LOOK NEATER. NEXT, ADD THEM
TO SMALL SPLIT DINNER ROLLS.
