Ingredients
- Hot dogs
- 4
- Hot dog buns
- 4
- Provel cheese
- 1 cup, shredded
- Barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup
- Red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Pickles
- 8 slices
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the hot dogs on the grill. Cook them until they are heated through and have developed beautiful grill marks, about 5 minutes.
- While the hot dogs are grilling, warm up your hot dog buns by placing them on the cooler side of the grill for a minute or two.
- Once the hot dogs are ready, place each one in a warmed bun.
- Top each hot dog with an equal amount of shredded Provel cheese. The heat from the hot dogs will start to melt the cheese slightly.
- Drizzle each hot dog with a generous amount of barbecue sauce, making sure to cover the cheese and hot dog.
- Sprinkle each hot dog with red pepper flakes for a kick of heat.
- Finish by placing two pickle slices on each hot dog for a touch of tanginess and crunch.
- Serve the hot dogs immediately, with extra barbecue sauce on the side for those who want a little extra tang.
Tips
- Provel cheese, a staple in St. Louis cuisine, is a blend of cheddar, Swiss, and provolone cheeses. If you can't find it, you can substitute it with any of these cheeses.
- For an extra St. Louis twist, try using a St. Louis-style barbecue sauce, which is typically thinner and tangier than other varieties.
