Ingredients
Scale
- 12 hotdogs
- 3 loaves of crusty French or Italian Bread (for buns)
- Yellow Mustard
For Slaw: (skip if using store-bought)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbs white vinegar
- 1-2 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp celery seed
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 16 oz. raw cole slaw bagged mix
- 1/4 cup green onions
For Sloppy Joe:
- 1 TBS olive oil
- 2 small red peppers, diced
- 1 lb of ground beef (organic and grass-fed recommended)
- 1 TBS homemade steak seasoning
- 2 Tbs honey
- 1 TBS red wine vinegar
- 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
- 2 TBS of tomato paste
Instructions
For Hotdogs:
- Warm grill to medium heat. Grill hotdogs for 7 to 9 minutes, or until heated through, turning occasionally. When hot dogs are done on the grill, remove all at once to avoid overcooking.
- While hotdogs are cooking, heat oven to 350 degrees and allow crusty bread to warm through. I cooked mine about 8 minutes. Set aside.
For Cole Slaw:
- Stir together mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, celery seeds, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add Cole slaw mix and green onions; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill before serving.
For Sloppy Joe:
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and red pepper to the pan. Cook until veggies are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently.
- Add ground beef, steak seasoning, and honey to the pan and combine.
- When the meat has browned, add vinegar, tomato sauce, and tomato paste.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook mixture 15-20 minutes, or until desired consistency.
To Assemble:
- Slice each piece of crust bread into 3 equal sections (about the size of a hot dog), slice each section horizontally so that the bread is shaped like a hot dog bun.
- Top each section of bread with a scoop of Sloppy Joe followed by a grilled hot dog. Top with Cole Slaw and yellow mustard.
Notes
- To save time you can purchase your Cole Slaw from the deli section of your grocery store. Just make sure to check that the ingredients are easily recognizable!
- Hot Dogs that are free from funky ingredients can be a little tough to find. I like and recommend Applegate.
