Loaded Street Hot Dogs

Street hot dogs are known for taking plain old hot dogs to a whole new level. But there are a million and one different ways to make a killer street dog. Each country, city, neighborhood has its own version of what "a typical street dog" should include, and this recipe reminds me of the version I ate while growing up in my Rio de Janeiro neighborhood.

When they're done, move them to a cooler spot on your grill to keep them warm, or move them to a plate and set aside.

  • Add in the tomato and cook for one minute, then finally add the thawed corn and peas, and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the cooked sausages in the buns, top with the veggies, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and string potatoes. Dress with mayo, ketchup and mustard, if desired!
