Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Beef hot dogs
  • 4 pieces Hot dog buns
Toppings and Sauces
  • ¼ cup Hot sauce
  • ¼ cup Pickled jalapeños (sliced)
  • ½ cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • ½ cup Onions (diced)
  • Mustard (to taste)
  • Relish (to taste)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You can also use a stovetop pan for a quick indoor option.
  2. Place the beef hot dogs on the grill or in a pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through and nicely charred, turning occasionally.
  3. While cooking, combine the hot sauce and sliced pickled jalapeños in a small bowl to prepare the 'firecracker' sauce.
  4. Once the hot dogs are done, place them inside the buns.
  5. Drizzle the spicy hot sauce and jalapeño mixture generously over each hot dog.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hot dogs, followed by diced onions. Add mustard and relish to taste if desired.
  7. Serve the Firecracker Beef Hot Dogs immediately while hot and melty.

Notes

Adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your heat preference. For different toppings, consider substitutes like diced tomatoes or avocado slices. Watch the hot dogs closely to prevent charring.
