Ingredients

  • 8 hot dogs
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 8 hot dog buns, split
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
  • 4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup), if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat coals or gas grill. Cut crosswise diagonal slashes 1/2 inch apart and 1/4 inch deep in each hot dog. Heat pizza sauce until hot; keep warm.
  • 2
    Grill hot dogs uncovered 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, turning frequently, until hot and slashes begin to open.
  • 3
    Serve hot dogs on buns. Top with pizza sauce, cheese and onions.

  • Here's a fun way to serve these sandwiches with flair: Shop party--supply stores for red and white checked paper basket liners-- like you'd see used lining a hamburger basket at a diner-or even paper hot dog sandwich holders used in delis. Pick up these fun paper items for serving the Pluto Pizza Dogs.
  • Weather has a chill and you can't grill? Cook the hot dogs as directed on package for boiling or microwaving.
