There is just something magical about Grilled Ball Park® Hot Dogs. Add your favorite toppings and you’ve got The All-American Hot Dog Bar!
What could be more American than gathering together with your friends and family for a cookout? And when it’s time to grill, that means it’s time to reach for Ball Park hot dogs.
Ball Park hot dogs are synonymous with summertime and when I’m having fun in the great outdoors, whether I’m camping or in my backyard, you can be sure that Ball Park hot dogs are on the menu!
So make sure to add Ball Park hot dogs to your shopping list and head on over to your favorite Albertsons store to pick up a few packages for your next get-together. Look for the packages with the activity badge sticker attached, full of summer recipe inspiration.
When I have friends over they know I’m going to create deliciousness for them to enjoy and this summer my grill events are going to be featuring The All-American Hot Dog Bar. I’ve gathered my ingredients together to give you some ideas of how you can change up your toppings on an all-American favorite.
Hot dogs are one of the friendliest foods I know. They’re easy to prepare and are delicious with any topping you want to add to them. You can get as creative as you like or just enjoy The All-American Dog with yellow mustard and relish. That’s still my favorite way to eat them. It lets the deliciousness of a Ball Park hot dog shine through.
For my All-American Hot Dog Bar I wanted to create a few new classics for my friends to try. But it really comes down to what you like to eat and your favorite toppings. Let your creative juices flow and everytime you grill, create a new topping to share with your friends and family.
I thought about the toppings I wanted to serve and decided to use a few classic grill time side dishes as toppings. Nothing goes better with hot dogs than baked beans….mmmm. Unless of course its mac and cheese!
What’s your favorite topping?

My boys absolutely love hot dogs. I never thought of putting so many toppings on them! I usually eat mine with only ketchup and so do my boys. My youngest just has it cut up and my oldest has recently started to use a bun with his. That’s as adventurous as they’ve gotten yet!
