Having a hot dog party is not only delicious and a lot of fun, it’s also an economical way to host a large crowd of friends and family. You really can’t go wrong with a hot dog grilling party. My friends and family never turn down an invitation for a good hot dog.

How to Host the Ultimate Hot Dog Party
Tip #1 – Always serve a quality hot dog to your guests. Bar-S Beef Franks are my hot dog of choice. They really have the best flavor. You don’t have to take my word for it though. A recent taste test shared on Every Day with Rachael Ray revealed that Bar-S Beef Hot Dogs won the top spot for Best Overall Hot Dog.
Tip #2 – Grill em up. Grilled hot dogs are far superior to boiled or baked hot dogs. I love a hot dog with grill marks. My personal preference is grilling over charcoal. I like the flavor you get from grilling over hot coals.
Tip #3 – Offer a variety of toppings. You can never have too many toppings at a hot dog party. Think beyond the standard ketchup and mustard, and include toppings like relish, onion, chili, cheese, salsa, avocado, bacon, and diced tomato.
Tip #4 – Invite lots of people to your party. A party is all about having fun with friends and family. The more the merrier is my motto, and a hot dog party is perfect for feeding a large crowd.

You sure know how to top your dogs in a tasty way. What a great summer party idea.
Totally agree! You have to have good hot dogs and they HAVE to be grilled. They just taste so much better that way!
I love the idea of Non-traditional toppings. Maybe different kinds of coney sauce? And your Avocado suggestion is great!
What a great party idea! I love the recipe for bacon/macncheese hot dogs! To die for!
LOL I was a vegetarian for 5 years and the first thing I had was a hot dog! I crave them all the time! On the grill is the best!
I agree with you, a grilled hotdog is the best!
I am not a huge fan of the “skimpy” hotdogs. These dogs look like the real deal! My husband would love hosting a hotdog party!
I love Bar-S brand hot dogs. They are definitely my favorite.
I love how you did the pasta salad in little cups. I am one who hates when my pasta salad gets my hot dog bun mushy… ha! Those hot dogs look delicious. Thanks for sharing
