Tired of the same old hot dog with ketchup and mustard? Switch things up with this Cuban Hot Dog based on the flavors of the classic Cuban sandwich. This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bar-S Foods. All opinions are 100% mine.
Cuban Hot Dog
Can I just tell you how much I love hot dogs, or franks, as they’re sometimes called? I’m not sure what it is about them, but a good dog is satisfying on every level, especially during the summer months when they’re fired up on the grill.
I’m pretty simple: I love my franks with just ketchup, a dab of mustard and a bun, but every so often I experiment with new hot dog toppings to please my family. My husband is the real hot dog guru—he’s always up for something new!
The other day we were talking our favorite South Florida sandwiches, and the Cuban sandwich came up. If you haven’t had a real Cuban, you need to get to Tampa, Miami or Key West ASAP because they’re out of this world good!
Now, I don’t claim to be able to make a real Cuban sandwich on my own (I go to the professionals for that!), but I thought the combination of ham, Swiss cheese, mustard and pickles would taste amazing on a hot dog – and, oh was I right!

I am a huge fan of different variations of a good food. Hot dogs are a staple for our grilling nights but this is a wonderful new way to try them.
My mouth is literally watering right know I have never had a cuban sandwich but yours looks amazing. I am not usually a big hot dog fan but when you dress it up like this I would be willing to give it a go!!!
I love Cuban sandwiches!! What an inventive idea for a hot dog.
I love this spin on a plain hot dog. Will be trying this the next time we barbecue hot dogs.
