Hot Dog Toppings So Good, They Belong on a Food Truck!
If you’ve ever stood in line at a trendy food truck, you know that hot dogs have gone gourmet. We’re talking baked beans, mac and cheese, coleslaw, pulled pork….. all loaded high with toppings that make a humble hot dog feel like a full meal.
The good news? You don’t need to chase down a $12 food truck dog to enjoy those same creative combinations. These fun and hearty hot dog topping ideas are packed with flavor, easy to make at home, and use ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
Whether you’re feeding the family or just looking to jazz up dinner, these hot dogs are anything but boring.
Fun Hot Dog Toppings
- BLT Dogs– take so those cool refreshing tastes and mix them together to top a hotdog!
- BBQ Dogs-nothing screams summer more than BBQ so why not top a hot dog with them?
- Reuban Dogs– I love the flavors that make up a Reuban, so it’s an easy transition from a sandwich to a hot dog!
- Cali Dogs– take all those yummy typical California flavors and use them to top your next hot dog.
- Nacho Dogs – while I agree these can get messy, they definitely make up for it with yummy flavor!
- Boston Dogs– We have put beans on hamburgers, so why not hotdogs?
- Dilly Dogs – This is a totally unexpected flavor for a hot dog, but it totally works!
- Pizza Dogs – for those nights you can’t decide between a pizza or a hot dog!

Fancy Hot Dog Flavors
Keep in mind that these flavor combinations work for more than just hot dogs too. You could easily swap out the hot dogs for your favorite smoked sausage, bratwursts, or even plant based hot dogs as well!
The great part of hot dogs is that they are really a blank canvas to work with. Because they have a bun, they are perfect for loading up with toppings too!
As a bonus, hot dogs can be a great way to use up odds and ends leftovers in your fridge. So, get creative and start exploring some new flavor combination!
