If you love classic North Carolin BBQ, this hot dog was made for you.
In this Hot Dog Collaboration with the NC Pork Council, we wanted to create recipes that celebrate the flavors North Carolinians know and love. This recipe combines smoky North Carolina BBQ, creamy mac & cheese, and a legendary North Carolina hot dog into one unforgettable bite.
Made with a Bright Leaf Hot Dog, topped with Bright Leaf BBQ, creamy mac & cheese, and finished with Bone Suckin' Sauce Sweet Southern, this Carolina BBQ Dog is everything you want at a cookout. It's sweet, smoky, savory, and packed with hometown flavor.
Whether you're feeding the family, hosting friends, or just looking for a fun twist on hot dogs, this recipe is guaranteed to disappear fast.
