cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese cuts calories while still providing creaminess.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: banana peppers

💰Cheaper: green bell peppers

Banana peppers provide a milder flavor at a lower cost.

hot dog buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: regular bread

Whole grain buns offer more fiber, while regular bread is often less expensive.

Take mini slider rolls and leave them connected.

Run a knife vertically down each row of rolls, slicing but not all the way through to keep them connected.

Select hot dogs that are bun linked or cut shorter ones in half.

Fire up the grill.

Cut hot dogs into thirds to match the size of the rolls.

Insert each cut hot dog into the slits of the rolls.

Prepare various toppings for the hot dogs, including mustard, ketchup, chili, jalapenos, onions, Fritos, and sauerkraut.

Serve the mini hot dog sliders at your tailgate.
