You'll never go back to plain hot dogs again.

I love a good hot dog - plain, with chili, or with cheese, they're all great. But recently, I've been craving something different. So, I took a regular hot dog (vegan dog works, too!) and piled on some... homemade macaroni salad. I know, I know, it sounds crazy. I was surprised too. I added jalapeños to the mac for heat, relish for sweetness, and crushed BBQ chips for some crunch. It's cold/hot, creamy/crunchy, sweet/spicy all in one! And for the record, I usually don't believe in LOADED foods. But this one is different. So give it a try (or don't). Fine either way, but you never know - you might actually end up liking it.

  • ½ pound elbow macaroni

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 scallions (greens and whites), thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons chopped red onion

  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, plus more for garnish

  • 1 tablespoon finely minced jalapeño pepper

  • 4 hot dogs

  • 4 hot dog buns, split

  • ¼ cup crushed BBQ potato chips, plus more as needed

  • Softened butter

  • Ketchup

  • Mustard (whichever kind you like on your hot dogs)
