Jalapeno Popper Hot Dogs

Summer is in full swing, and we’ve been enjoying delicious summer treats all season long. From s’mores to burgers to delicious salads, this summer has been incredible. However, one thing we haven’t had yet this summer is hot dogs! Hot dogs are one of the best things about summer, but they could kind of boring repeated. Enter the hot dog challenge, and this delicious Jalapeno Popper Hot Dog.

It has spice, cheese, and a hot dog, what more could you ask for? Maybe two delicious hot dogs? Be sure to check out this dog’s challenger – Banh Mi Hot Dog! Be sure to check out the challenge video below to vote for your favourite.

We love this dog because it’s super easy to make and packs an awesome punch. With a hot dog, grilled to perfection, topped with an ooey, gooey cheese sauce (thanks in part to Daiya Cream Cheese and Cheddar Shreds) and air-fried crispy jalapeno chunks. The contrast of the crunch with the creamy-ness of the cheese make this the perfect comfort food summer dish.
