Notes
- You can use store-bought or homemade South Carolina mustard barbecue sauce for convenience or personalized flavor.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute hot dog buns with gluten-free buns.

- Leftover toppings can be refrigerated separately and added fresh when serving.
- Using freshly grilled hot dogs imparts the best smoky flavor, but pan-cooked hot dogs work well too.
