What’s on my mind? Swamp Dogs are on my mind. I’ll be serving up Swamp Dogs this year at MF5. They’re hot dogs, but swampy.

Swamp Hot Dogs (Meat Feast)
Ingredients
* 8 hot dogs
* 2/3 cup Italian dressing
* 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
* 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
* 2 medium onions (thinly sliced)
* 2/3 cup water
* 1/4 cup ketchup
* 1 tablespoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
How to Make It
1. Score and Marinate: Score the hot dogs with a knife. Place them in a zip-top bag with the sliced onions, Italian dressing, Worcestershire sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 1 to 2 days.
2. Cook the Dogs: Heat a cast-iron skillet or large griddle. Char the marinated hot dogs first.
3. Simmer the Onions: Add the marinated onions to the hot dogs in the pan. Pour in the water and let the mixture simmer until the onions are soft and tender.
4. Add Sauce: Stir in the ketchup and mustard directly into the onion mixture to create a thick, savory sauce.
5. Serve: Place the cooked hot dogs into buns and top generously with the saucy Cajun onions.
