AIKEN POOL HALL HOT DOGS

This is reportedly the recipe for the topping used on the famous Aiken, SC City Billiards "pool hall hot dogs", with a minor adjustment made on my part regarding the amount of onions used (original recipe states "4 medium onions"). It's a sweet and tangy mixture; I like it topped with lots of shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese. (I've made this with ground turkey and it tastes pretty fine, too!) This makes enough topping for about 4 hot dogs.

HOT HOT DOGS

These hot dogs are especially for the grill. This recipe totally knocks the "boring" out of everyday franks. Very unique and spicy. This recipe is a variation of Steven Raichlen's "Hot" Dogs recipe, in his book: "How to Grill" - NOTE: You will need butcher's string for tying.

Categories     Meat

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 hot dogs (jumbo variety are best)
32 jalapeno peppers (jarred slices, more or less according to your heat quotient)
4 -5 slices cheddar cheese or 4 -5 slices monterey jack cheese
8 hot dog buns
condiments, as desired

Steps:

  • Slit hotdogs lengthwise and open to a "V".
  • Insert about half a cheese slice and about 4 jalapeno slices into the slit of each hot dog.
  • Tie hot dogs crosswise in 2 or 3 places with butcher's string to hold in the filling.
  • Set up grill for direct grilling on hot coals.
  • When coals are ready, place hot dogs on the grill, parallel to bars on the grate. Cook until browned on bottom, then roll the dogs slightly to brown both sides of the filled "V".
  • Cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer to a serving plate. Snip and remove strings before serving.
  • Toast buns on grill for extra eye-appeal.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality hot dogs and buns. The better the ingredients, the better the hot dog will be.
  • Grill the hot dogs over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Toast the buns before adding the hot dogs. This will help to keep them from getting soggy.
  • Add your favorite toppings. The classic toppings for a hot dog are ketchup, mustard, and relish, but you can also add other toppings like sauerkraut, chili, or cheese.
  • Serve the hot dogs immediately. Hot dogs are best when they are served hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Aiken Pool Hall Hot Dogs are a delicious and easy-to-make summertime treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a hot dog that is sure to please everyone. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy a classic American dish.
