Hot Diggity Gourmet Dog

Family Dinner or Cook Out with Friends Serve Up Gourmet Hot Dogs!  They are summer fun food and super easy to prepare.  Your dogs can be beef or turkey.  Keep it simple and add a salad, fresh fruit and gourmet chips.  Here is a few of our favorite.

Mexican Cheese Hot Dog:

Cheese Sauce

  • 1/3 cup milk, more or less, depending on desired consistency

Dogs and toppings

  • 4 serrano peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 medium red onion, minced
  • diced fresh tomatoes
  • chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese

  1. Place grated cheese in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in milk. Continue stirring, adding more milk as necessary, until cheese sauce is melted completely and you've reached desired consistency.  Sauce will thicken and harden as it cools.
