Where has summer gone?! It seems like just yesterday we were gearing up for grilling<\/a><\/strong> season. I know technically there are a few weeks left, but Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer. <\/p>\n

This year, I am hosting our annual neighborhood cookout. We’ll serve the traditional fare … hot dogs<\/a><\/strong>, burger<\/a><\/strong>, salads<\/a><\/strong>, beans<\/a><\/strong>, etc. I’ve decided to also do a hot dog topping bar. I think guests will love turning their hot dogs into something special. And, of course, I know where to look for the perfect recipes.<\/p>\n

Pickle relish has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. My grandmother used to make one that I loved. Norma deRemer<\/a><\/strong> and Lynda Kolbinskie<\/a><\/strong> have great recipes that put a yummy twist on one of my favorite toppings.<\/p>\n

“I started making this when I first got married,” says Norma of her Norma’s Hot Dog and Hamburger Relish<\/a><\/strong> recipe. “I have also used cucumbers, but prefer green tomatoes.” The flavors in this sweet relish are perfect. You’ll be using this on everything … and you’ll have enough because this recipe makes a lot. It’s so tasty!<\/p>\n

“Hands down, my all-time favorite hot dog relish,” exclaims Lynda about her Favorite Zucchini Hot Dog Relish<\/a><\/strong>. I have enjoyed relish all my life. But, I don’t think I have ever had one with zucchini. This recipe intrigued me … and I loved it! The flavors are tasty and it really gave my hot dog an extra zing. I can’t wait to try it on beans and vegetables too.<\/p>\n

Jen Smallwood’s<\/a><\/strong> Michigan Hot Dog Sauce<\/a><\/strong> is yum-my! “[This is] a spicy, tangy sauce for hot dogs, french fries or hamburgers,” shares Jen. I love the versatility of this recipe. We initially tried it on french fries like Jen suggested and it was a big hit in the Test Kitchen. It’easy to make too. The hardest part is waiting for it to simmer on the stove for two hours and not dig in.<\/p>\n

“This is a spicy sauce I created,” says Dee Tourville<\/a><\/strong>. “[It’s] not for the little ones or the faint of heart.” With 7 teaspoons of chili powder, red pepper flakes and hot sauce, her You Saucey Little Dog Sauce<\/a><\/strong> recipe packs a flavor punch. This definitely adds a nice kick to your hot dog.<\/p>\n

New York native Lillian Russo’s<\/a><\/strong> recipe for Hot Dog Onions<\/a><\/strong> would be a great addition to your toppings bar. “I tried many different hot dog onion recipes,” explains Lillian. “I mixed and matched them until I got the perfect combination!” These onions are quick and easy to prepare. And, you can easily double or triple the recipe if you have a big crowd. The hot pepper sauce and cayenne add a very slight heat. But you can tailor that to suit your palate.<\/p>\n

Whether you decide to stick with mustard and ketchup or try one of these tasty toppings, we’re sure your Labor Day cookout will be a success. How can it not be when you have friends, family and, of course, great food!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
