Hot Dogs for Bonfire Night!

Bonfire Night calls for warm and hearty comfort food, and what better way to enjoy the fireworks than with a classic hot dog, packed with delicious flavours! Using the Pork Sage & Red Onion Sausages from Cleaver Meats Bonfire Night Special Meat Pack, this recipe is the perfect crowd-pleaser for cosy gatherings around the bonfire. Add some smoky BBQ onions and your favourite toppings for a hot dog that’s sure to be a hit!

Instructions:

Cook The Sausages

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the Pork Sage & Red Onion Sausages, turning regularly until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Fry The BBQ Onions

While the sausages are cooking, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and cook for 5-6 minutes, until they start to soften. Stir in the BBQ sauce and brown sugar, then cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onions are caramelised and sticky. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Toast The Buns

Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until they are golden and slightly crisp.

Assemble The Hot Dogs

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and wholegrain mustard on the inside of each bun. Place the grilled sausage inside, then top with the sticky BBQ onions. Add fresh rocket or lettuce for a bit of crunch, and finish with crispy onions for an extra layer of texture.

Serve & Enjoy

Pair your Bonfire Night hot dogs with a side of coleslaw or some loaded potato wedges. Serve hot and enjoy while watching the fireworks!
