Hot Dog Charcuterie Board
A Hot Dog Charcuterie Board is a great addition to summer cookouts, holidays and game day get togethers. Set up your board with delicious grilled hot dogs and creative toppings for an easy way to serve your guests.
Hot dogs are always a hit for any cookout, tailgate party or gathering with friends and family. I’m sharing some tips for making a fun charcuterie board for epic hot dogs that will totally steal the show.
I am an ambassador for Petit Jean Meats. They provided me with the hot dogs, hot links, smoked sausages, bacon, and cheese for recipe development purposes, but I was not compensated for this post. This Hot Dog Charcuterie Board recipe first appeared on the Petit Jean Meats site.
What is a charcuterie board?
Charcuterie is generally a selection of meats to serve for entertaining and parties displayed on a serving board or platter. These days folks are making charcuterie boards featuring everything imaginable. A Hot Dog Charcuterie Board is super easy to put together and a great way to serve up a summertime favorite.
How to Make a Hot Dog Charcuterie Board:
Arrange grilled hot dogs and smoked sausages in buns around the board in groups of 3-4. 
We used a selection of Petit Jean Meats Jumbo Grillers, Red Polish Sausage and Smoked Sausage Hot Links.
Place toppings in small bowls with serving spoons and knives.
Best Hot Dog Toppings for a Hot Dog Charcuterie Board:
Favorite toppings can include: Creamy Coleslaw, Sweet Pickle Relish, Pickled Green Onions, candied jalapenos, crispy Petit Jean Hickory Smoked Bacon, diced red onion, and diced pineapple.
Shredded cheese is a great addition, we like Cheese N Garlic, Cheese N Hot Pepper, and Smoked Cheddar. Be sure to include mustard, ketchup, and barbecue sauce.
If you are a fan of chili dogs, this southern hot dog chili is definitely a keeper!
Get creative, adding unexpected ingredients like slaw, chopped pineapple or kimchi to keep things interesting.
How to Grill Hot Dogs:
Hot dogs cook quickly. Add your hot dogs over a low fire and turn often. Keep an eye on them, they will burn easily. When hot dogs start to expand and sizzle, they are done. Move them over to indirect heat until you are ready to serve.
Easy Side Dishes to Serve with Hot Dogs:
Creamy Cucumber Salad is a cool dish for cookouts. Easy to make ahead and full of delicious flavors.
Easy Watermelon Salad is one of my favorites. A combination of sweet watermelon, pineapple and feta cheese.
The Best Macaroni Salad is a must- have for every cookout we have. It has a sweet dressing and lots of crunchy veggies.
Creamy Dill Potato Salad is a super easy potato salad with a mayo and dill dressing that will knock your socks off.
