Description

South Carolina Bird Dog Sandwiches are a tangy and flavorful twist on the classic hot dog, featuring grilled beef hot dogs topped with a distinctive mustard-based barbecue sauce and fresh coleslaw, making a perfect quick and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Hot Dogs

  • 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

  1. Cook the Hot Dogs: Grill or cook the beef hot dogs according to the package instructions until heated through and nicely browned.
  2. Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill or in a skillet to add a slight crispness and warmth.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Place each cooked hot dog into a toasted bun.
  4. Add Barbecue Sauce: Generously spoon South Carolina mustard barbecue sauce over each hot dog, ensuring an even coating for that signature tangy flavor.
  5. Top with Coleslaw: Add a scoop of coleslaw on top of the sauce to add crunch and creaminess.
  6. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, add sliced pickles or onions for extra zest and texture.
  7. Serve: Serve the Bird Dog Sandwiches immediately for best taste and texture.

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.
  • Adjust the quantity of coleslaw and barbecue sauce based on your taste preference.
  • 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.
