Ingredients
Scale
Hot Dogs and Buns
- 4 beef hot dogs
- 4 hot dog buns
Toppings
- 1 cup South Carolina mustard barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup coleslaw (prepared or homemade)
- Optional: pickles, sliced onions
Instructions
- Cook the Hot Dogs: Grill or cook the beef hot dogs according to package instructions until heated through and slightly charred for added flavor.
- Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill or in a skillet to enhance texture and prevent sogginess.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place each cooked hot dog into a toasted bun carefully.
- Add the Barbecue Sauce: Generously spoon South Carolina mustard barbecue sauce over each hot dog to achieve the signature tangy flavor.
- Top with Coleslaw: Add a scoop of creamy coleslaw on top of the sauce to add crunch and balance the tanginess.
- Add Optional Garnishes: If desired, add pickles or sliced onions to enhance the texture and flavor.
- Serve: Serve the sandwiches immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of warm hot dogs, tangy sauce, and crunchy coleslaw.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can make the South Carolina mustard barbecue sauce at home using yellow mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, and spices for freshness.
- Coleslaw can be homemade or store-bought; creamy styles work best.
- Grilling the hot dogs adds smoky flavor but pan-cooking them is a good alternative.
- Adjust toppings according to your preference, and add pickled jalapeños for extra heat if desired.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free buns.
