Hawaiian Dogs
I’m not much of a hot dog eater – but having young children pretty much obligates me to make them on occasion. I don’t really do boring dogs at our house …. I like to come up different kinds of toppings to make them fun and more tolerable for me (although my kiddos are quite content with just the regular ol’ ketchup and mustard!). I love the idea of having a sweet, spicy and salty combo – so I came up with these Hawaiian Dogs.
If I were a betting person, I’d bet they don’t necessarily eat stuff like this in Hawaii …. but just go with me here – mmmkay?!
The dogs are wrapped up in bacon and grilled (carefully – you’ll wanna watch those flames with the bacon grease!) – and then they are topped off with a spicy pineapple salsa. Mayo or BBQ sauce would be good condiments to add if you’re so inclined – although, they’re just as good without it! 😉

Ingredients
- 1 pkg. (16 oz.) hot dogs
- 8 slices of bacon
- 8 hot dog buns
- 1 can (8 oz.) pineapple tidbits, drained
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
- 2 tbsp. lime juice
- Small handful of cilantro, chopped
- BBQ sauce or mayo, if desired
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple, red onion, jalapeno, lime juice and cilantro. Mix well. Refrigerate until serving time.
- Preheat grill.
- Wrap each hot dog in a slice of bacon, overlapping slightly. Secure the loose end with a toothpick. Grill, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the hot dog is heated through.
- To serve, remove the toothpick from the hot dog. Place a hot dog in a bun and top with the pineapple salsa.
- Serve with mayo or BBQ sauce if desired.

No, they do not eat hot dogs like this in Hawaii…they eat SPAM! I'll take a hot dog over spam any day 🙂 That is quite the hot dog Jamie. I love the flavor combination!
The hotdogs in Hawaii are life altering. I can't wait to try these!

Love the mixture of pineapple and jalapeno on top of the hot dog. It screams summer to me. Thanks for sharing on Thursdays Treasures. This will be a feature this week.
I could have written your first sentence. And the second–at least the first half of it. I'm not creative enough to come up with something fun like this. I'll just borrow your idea if you don't mind 🙂
Thanks for linking!
I also don't care for hot dogs, but with young kids as well, we're bound to eat them sometime, lol. This combination looks delicious and we'll be trying it soon! Thanks for sharing at Mix it up Monday 🙂
