INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pack Dempster’s® Original Hot Dog Buns
  • 1 pack jumbo hot dogs (approx. 12 hot dogs, about 900 g total)
  • 1 jar nacho sauce (about 400 ml)
  • 1 medium tomato (120–150 g), diced
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) diced pickles
  • 1/2 cup (70 g) bacon bits
  • 1 cup (120 g) potato sticks
  • 1/4 cup (15 g) finely chopped chives

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat nacho sauce in a small pot over medium-low heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until warm and melty. Or, microwave in a heat-safe bowl for 30 seconds, stir, then continue heating in 15–20 second intervals until smooth and pourable (about 1–1.5 minutes total).
  2. Grill hot dogs according to package instructions.
  3. To assemble, place one hot dog in each bun, spoon over some nacho sauce, and top it with tomato, pickles, bacon bits, hickory sticks, and chives.
