There’s nothing better than a classic hot dog. Always piping hot and bursting with all-American flavors, they’re a popular pick in our household.

I’m the kind of person who usually tops my hotdogs with the same ol’ thing every time. That’s right folks, I’m a strict mustard and ketchup kind of gal.

Now, these are totally reliable condiments to go with, but I felt like switching things up one day. Out of nowhere, I created a game-changing snack – these deliciously saucy Pizza Hot Dogs.

    You might not think that hot dogs could be improved, but with a dash of pizza sauce, pepperoni, and plenty of cheese, this staple snack promises to take summer garden parties to new heights.

    Although you can use regular buns for this recipe, I love swiping a generous amount of butter onto the bread before adding my toppings. I feel that it gives these pizza hot dogs an extra bit of depth that butter naturally brings.

    You can switch this recipe up using your favorite pizza toppings, so feel free to throw on veggies, jalapenos, cured meats, or anything else you fancy using!

    These Pizza Hot Dogs were a total hit at my last BBQ, as they’re incredibly filling thanks to the extra toppings and cheese. If you want to make these for a midweek meal, I highly recommend involving your kids. My little ones loved getting involved, and there’s nothing complex about this recipe that you’d need to watch out for safety-wise.

    So, go nuts!

    Storage Instructions

    If you know that you won’t be eating your Pizza Hot Dogs immediately, I recommend keeping the ingredients separate until you’re ready to eat them. This will keep your buns fresh and your ingredients in peak condition.

    The hot dogs should store safely in food storage bags and the marinara sauce can be placed in a Tupperware container for a few days before being thrown out.

    You may be able to store your fully formed Pizza Hot Dogs in the fridge for a couple of days before reheating them in the oven. However, keep an eye out for soggy buns as they simply won’t reheat well if the bread has been soaked through.

    Can I Freeze?

    You can freeze packaged hot dogs for up to 2 months, but we don’t recommend freezing your cooked Pizza Hot Dogs.

    The bread is the main issue here, as the recipe simply won’t retain its structural integrity or texture when defrosted.
