Sunnys Easy Blt Hot Dog Recipes

SUNNY'S BULGOGI DOG

Steps:

• For the glaze: In a small bowl, mix the gochujang, honey, a few grinds of black pepper and a pinch of salt, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen to a glaze consistency.
• For the marinated veggies: In a bowl, toss together the rice wine vinegar, sesame seeds, chile flakes, scallions and carrots. Rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• For the hot dogs and onions: In a grill pan on medium heat (or on the grates of a grill on high heat), add the onions and a drizzle of olive oil. Brush the onions with the glaze and cook, moving them around, until charred and golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and give them a rough chop. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Add the hot dogs to the grill pan cut-side down and cook, flipping once, until heated through. On the flip, generously brush the cut side with the glaze. Remove from the grill and let rest with the onions under the foil.
• Dry toast the buns on each side. Add the onions to the buns first, then the hot dogs and some of the marinated vegetables.

SUNNY'S EASY GRILLED RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Heat a grill to 350 degrees F. (Or preheat the oven on its lowest temperature setting.)
• Make a large aluminum foil pouch and add the tomatoes, onions, garlic, zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant, Italian seasoning, paprika, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Gently toss together and then tightly close the aluminum pouch.
• Place the pouch over the indirect heat area of your grill (or in the oven on the lowest setting). Cook, picking up the pouch with tongs and tossing 2 to 3 times while cooking, until everything sounds soft inside, anywhere from 30 to 50 minutes depending on the cooking method.
• Pour the aluminum pouch contents into a large bowl. Add the lemon zest and a spritz of lemon juice and toss. Taste and season with salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Sprinkle over the parsley and serve.

SUNNY'S EASY BLT HOT DOG

Steps:

• In a cold pan, add the bacon strips. Turn the heat to medium high and cook, flipping once, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle with the steak seasoning and sugar. When cool enough to handle, chop the bacon, but not to bits!
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium high. Cook the hot dogs on all sides until slightly charred, about 6 minutes.
• Line the insides of each bun with slices of tomato (they should stick out slightly) and rest the hot dogs on top. Add the mayonnaise and use it to "glue" the lettuce and bacon on top.

SUNNY'S EASY COOKIE BUTTER HOT CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• For the base: In a medium saucepot on medium heat, add the chocolate chips, cookie butter, brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Heat, stirring, until the cookie butter and chocolate begin to melt, then slowly whisk in the half-and-half in parts to make a tight slurry. Continue to whisk until the mixture loosens and the half-and-half is completely incorporated.
• For the finish: Raise the heat to medium high and whisk in the almond milk and bourbon. Cook until the entire pot is warm. Remove and serve in a mug with a dash of cinnamon sugar, or over ice as a chilled drink.
