Ingredients

• 4 beef hot dogs
• 4 hot dog buns
• 1 cup cooked spaghetti, drained

• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• ¼ cup crushed peanuts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick

How to Make Loaded Hot Dog with Creamy Sauce

1. Start by cooking your hot dogs. You can grill, boil, or pan-fry them until heated through (about 5-7 minutes). If grilling, aim for nice grill marks.
2. While the hot dogs are cooking, prepare the creamy sauce. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Mix until smooth and season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Once the hot dogs are ready, place each hot dog in a bun.
4. Generously drizzle the creamy sauce over each hot dog.
5. Top with crushed peanuts for crunch and sprinkle with more parsley if desired. For an extra kick, add sliced jalapeños.
6. Serve the loaded hot dogs alongside a generous portion of cooked spaghetti. Drizzle any remaining creamy sauce over the spaghetti for added flavor.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a smoky flavor, grill the hot dogs instead of boiling.
• If you prefer a lighter sauce, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
• Feel free to customize the toppings according to your preferences—bacon bits or diced onions can add extra flavor.

Easy Variations

• Try using turkey or vegan hot dogs for a healthier or plant-based option.
• Swap the crushed peanuts with crispy fried onions for a different crunch.
• Experiment with various sauces, like barbecue or sriracha mayo, for unique flavor profiles.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh garden salad for a refreshing crunch.
• Potato chips or fries for that classic barbecue side.
• Grilled vegetables for a colorful, healthy addition.
