Print Recipe

Juicy, smoky pulled pork piled high on a perfectly grilled hot dog, topped with creamy, crunchy coleslaw, all nestled in a soft, toasted bun. A backyard barbecue and ballpark classic combined into one delicious dish.

Ingredients

  • High-quality beef hot dogs
  • Smoky, tender pulled pork (store-bought or homemade)
  • Creamy coleslaw with a hint of tang (store-bought or homemade)
  • Soft, toasted hot dog buns (potato buns recommended)
  • Rich, tangy barbecue sauce (Kansas City style)
  • Optional toppings: pickled jalapeños, crispy fried onions, shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pulled Pork: Cook pork shoulder in a slow cooker for 6-8 hours on low or use an Instant Pot for 60 minutes on high pressure. Shred the pork and mix with barbecue sauce.
  2. Make the Coleslaw: Combine shredded cabbage and carrots in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss the dressing with the cabbage mixture until evenly coated.
  3. Cook the Hot Dogs: Heat grill or grill pan over medium heat. Cook hot dogs for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through and slightly charred.
  4. Toast the Buns: Place hot dog buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until lightly toasted.
  5. Assemble the Hot Dogs: Place a hot dog in each bun, top generously with pulled pork, and add a scoop of coleslaw. Drizzle with extra barbecue sauce and add optional toppings like pickled jalapeños or fried onions.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy.
