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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Brush the insides of the hot dog buns with melted butter and set aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, for about 6-8 minutes or until heated through and lightly charred.
Step 5
Toast the buttered buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, cut-side down, until golden and slightly crisp.
Step 6
Spread a generous layer of the spicy chili sauce onto each bun. Place a grilled hot dog inside each bun.
Step 7
Top the hot dogs with shredded cheddar cheese, fresh jalapeño slices, and optional pickled jalapeños for an extra kick.
Step 8
Serve immediately, with napkins on hand — these Red Devil Hot Dogs are messy, spicy, and incredibly delicious!
