These Classic Smoked Hot Dogs are a smoky twist on a traditional favorite, perfect for any cookout or gathering. With BBQ sauce, caramelized onions, and pickled jalapeños, they’re packed with flavor.
Ingredients:
- 8 beef hot dogs
- 8 hot dog buns
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup caramelized onions
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños
- Mustard, to taste
- Ketchup, to taste
- Relish, to taste
Directions:
- Preheat the Smoker:
- Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
- Smoke the Hot Dogs:
- Place the hot dogs in the smoker. Smoke them for about 2 hours, occasionally turning to ensure even cooking. The hot dogs should have a deep smoky flavor and be heated through.
- Warm the Buns:
- During the last 10 minutes of smoking, place the hot dog buns on the side of the smoker to warm them.
- Assemble the Hot Dogs:
- Serve the smoked hot dogs on the warmed buns.
- Top with BBQ sauce, caramelized onions, and pickled jalapeños.
- Add mustard, ketchup, and relish to taste.
Tips:
- Caramelized Onions: To make caramelized onions, cook sliced onions in a skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil or butter, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized.
- Smoker Variations: If you don’t have a smoker, you can achieve a similar result by cooking the hot dogs on a grill over indirect heat with a smoking box or foil packet filled with wood chips.
- Customization: Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preference. Add cheese, sauerkraut, or coleslaw for a different flavor profile.
