Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces hot dog buns
- 4 pieces beef hot dogs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 pieces jalapeños, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (e.g., sriracha or your favorite brand)
- 0.25 cup white onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup pickled jalapeños (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Brush the insides of the hot dog buns with melted butter and set aside.
In the same saucepan, combine the ketchup, hot sauce, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and diced onion. Stir well and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, for about 6-8 minutes or until heated through and lightly charred.
Toast the buttered buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, cut-side down, until golden and slightly crisp.
Spread a generous layer of the spicy chili sauce onto each bun. Place a grilled hot dog inside each bun.
Top the hot dogs with shredded cheddar cheese, fresh jalapeño slices, and optional pickled jalapeños for an extra kick.
Serve immediately, with napkins on hand — these Red Devil Hot Dogs are messy, spicy, and incredibly delicious!
