The start of this video shows how:
So instead of boiling the hotdog you BBQ it.
But before that you slice it, insert some cheese, and wrap it in bacon.
I can’t see how it could taste anything but delicious
Topping Options
- Chopped chiles
- Bacon
- Pickles
- Lettuce
- Onions – caramelised or crispy fried
- Cheese
- Bell peppers
- Halloumi
- Ketchup / “special sauce” / BBQ sauce
- “hot sauce”
- Teriyaki
Not these, a line must be drawn:
- Egg
- Pineapple
- Coleslaw
- Mushrooms
- Avocado
Test these odd ideas:
- Maple syrup (with bacon)
- Peanut butter
- Goat or sheep cheese
- Curry sauce (maybe ketchup with a noticeable hint of curry)
- Ginger-Hoisin Barbecue Sauce
- Bourbon Bacon Jam
- Grilled Pineapple Salsa
- Rocket (but with something that matches)
- Honey (with goat cheese?)
- Scallions / spring onion
- Chile con queso
- The pimiento peppers themselves lend a sweet quality that melds well with sharp cheddar, making it a perfectly meltable topper for your next burger.
- Parmesan crisps
Chopped Cheese
This uniquely (and quite recent) New York variation of a hamburger is an easy addition to a burger joint menu.
It can be offered as a lower cost option, even though the price of producing it is the same as a proper burger.
The chopped aspect is simply that the formed burger patty is chopped up while being grilled. A little bit different to Sloppy Joes which are unformed minced beef from start to finish.
The cheese can lie on top, or be chopped in – it doesn’t seem to matter.
The bun is a sub by necessity – if it is a burger bun there is too much room for the meat to slip out the side. Even with a half-open roll, the Chopped Cheese is wrapped in foil or grease-proof paper to keep everything in place.
