4th of July = Hot Dogs, Potato Salad, Watermelon & Apple Pie

I asked my wife what she wanted me to cook up. She said a traditional 4th of July for her would be Hot Dogs, Corn of the Cob, Potato Salad & Watermelon so I made it so. (I added ABT’s) I set up a Hot Dog Bar so everyone can make them exactly how they want them. (Credit to boogiesnap for the inspiration as I tried to replicate his winning Tubesteak entry) I included John Setzler's Hot Dog Chili, Cheese, Onion, Grilled Onion Relish, Green Bell Pepper, Sauerkraut, Pickle, Tomato Wedges, Relish, Mustard & Catsup.

Here are the pics of making John’s Hot Dog Chili










While that was cooking I made some ABT’s (This time with Shrimp)





Here are the details & pics of making the Grilled Onion Relish.

1 medium Onion sliced ¼” thick.
1 pinch of Cinnamon (just a pinch)
¼ cup of Catsup.
Salt & Pepper to taste.

Brown the Onions




Add the Cinnamon, Catsup & S&P and continue to grill for 5 minutes.



Now the Green Bell Pepper.
