Honey Mustard Slaw Dog

For those times when you plain old have no energy left in the day to cook, how about a hot dog.

Not just any hot dog but one with juicy sweet slaw and topped with honey roasted peanuts.

Wait, peanuts? On a hot dog…seriously?  Sure why not.

And the best of all, how about a hot dog on a soft pretzel roll. yum.

I came up with this slaw dog for the sole purpose of using these amazingly delicious pretzel rolls that I found in the fresh bakery section at Walmart.  These rolls are so darn good.

For this recipe I grilled the hot dogs on the BBQ but feel free to pop them in the micro to save time.

Just don’t be like me and overcook them in the micro. They turn out severely unattractive, scary, and could even give you bad dreams.

So give these dogs a try.

And get some extra pretzel rolls while you’re at it.  A quick tip; pick the bag of pretzel rolls in the back of the shelf with the furthest pull date, so they’re nice a soft.  Soooo good.

Have a great week and thank you so much for stopping by.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Hot dogs, pretzel hot dog buns, green cabbage, carrots, green onions, mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard (love getting 40% extra mustard and using a coupon at the same time), salt, pepper, honey roasted peanuts and black sesame seeds.

Here’s how to make it.

For the Slaw:
