Ingredients

• 4 pieces Hot dog buns
• 4 pieces Hot dog sausages
• 4 rings Pineapple slices (fresh or canned)
• 4 slices Deli ham
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 tablespoons Teriyaki sauce
• 4 teaspoons Mayonnaise
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or stovetop griddle to medium heat.

Step 2

Melt the butter and lightly brush it onto the inside surfaces of the hot dog buns. Place the buns on the grill or griddle cut side down, and toast for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.

Step 3

Grill the hot dog sausages for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until heated through and slightly caramelized. Transfer them to a plate.

Step 4

Place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and the pineapple is slightly caramelized. Remove from the heat.

Step 5

Take one slice of deli ham and fold it in half lengthwise. Place it on the grill for about 30 seconds per side until slightly warmed and slightly crisped. Repeat for each slice.

Step 6

Assemble the Hawaiian hot dogs: Spread 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise on the inside of each toasted bun. Place a grilled hot dog inside the bun.

Step 7

Place one grilled pineapple ring over the hot dog, followed by a folded slice of the warmed deli ham.

Step 8

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce over the toppings and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Optional: Place the assembled hot dogs on the grill indirectly (away from direct heat) for 1-2 minutes to slightly melt the cheese.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh pop of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your Hawaiian Hot Dogs!
