3 Creative Hot Dog Recipes for Your Next Summer Party

It’s summertime and the living is easy. Shouldn’t the same should hold true for your Summertime Entertaining? While you know I love a good sit down dinner but when it comes to easy summer entertaining a well set up buffet or food station, it is still a great option for any hostess. But let’s not make it your standard summer buffet filled with the usual expected offerings, let’s mix it a up a bit and offer guest a few creative hot dog recipes at your next summer party.

A creative hotdog bar allows guests to make their own favorite combination but also provides a few unusual pre-made recipes to get them started on expanding their hotdog recipe repertoire.

The Classic American Hot Dog Recipe ::

Grilled hotdog, grilled to perfection, placed in a toasted top cut hotdog bun, topped with ketchup and mustard.

The Tropical Hot Dog Recipe ::

Grilled hotdog, grilled pineapple cut into small chunks, fresh squeezed lime juice, picked whole cilantro leaves, thin sliced scallions, fined diced red onion.

Along with the traditional toppings, and our creative hotdog recipes listed here, feel free to offer guests a few new alternatives. If you have a few combinations you are fond of, group the toppings and place small signs with the name and ingredients so guests can give them a try or create their own new versions.

The California Fresh Hot Dog Recipe ::

Along with the traditional toppings, and the creative hotdog recipes we have given here, feel free to offer guests a few new alternatives. If you have a few combinations you are fond of, group the toppings and place small signs with the name and ingredients so guests can give them a try or create their own new versions.

For your summer party tablescape – place a few America flags into a vase, add a blue and white tablecloth and pull out your best flag platter for this summer party!

Instead of plates, offer guests red, white and blue napkins, bakery papers (to hold these creative hot dog recipes) and your hotdog bar is set to go!

Cheers and Enjoy!!
