Preparation
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the special sauce. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 2
Preheat a lightly oiled grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Butterfly the hot dogs! Slice each hot dog lengthwise almost all the way through—you want the dog to remain attached on one side—then fold it open like a book.
Step 4
Grill the dogs for about 4 to 5 minutes per side or until lightly charred. During the last 2 minutes of cook time, arrange the dogs into 4 pairs of side-by-side dogs. (These are your “patties.”) Top each pair with a slice of cheese and allow it to melt.
Step 5
If you like grilled buns (who doesn’t?), place the buns on the grill cut side down on the grill for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until grill marks appear.
Step 6
Add a burger dog to the bottom of each bun and top with tomato, lettuce, and plenty of special sauce. Sandwich everything together and go to town.
Step 7
