This hot dog bar is the perfect way to feed a crowd at parties or any special occasion you plan on having a lot of guests! Everyone will love building their own hotdogs using a variety of meat, vegetables, cheese, condiments, and more at this DIY hot dog buffet! You can even save time on the day of the party by preparing all of the toppings in advance!
Arrange the toppings and condiments on a table or surface that can be easily accessed by guests. At the head of the table, start with plates and hotdog buns. It helps to label the toppings, if possible.

Notes
If you don't feel like firing up the grill, you can also make perfectly cooked hot dogs in your air fryer!
A crockpot is a great way to keep warm toppings like nacho cheese, chili, or pulled pork warm.
For 20 hotdogs, I recommend having about 2 cups of each topping. However, you can easily make more or less hot dogs and adjust the toppings as needed!
To save on time, you may chop, grate, or dice the toppings the night before then cover and refrigerate them until your hot dogs are ready!
To store: Leftover toppings and condiments can be covered and returned to the fridge for up to 3 days. Leftover hot dogs can be kept in an airtight container and refrigerated for 3-4 days.
To reheat: The easiest way to reheat your hot dogs or warm toppings is in the microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until heated through.
