It’s rare to have a quiet day here at home during the summer.  Our house (and more specifically, our pool) becomes a social hub for family and friends trying to stay cool throughout these hot summer days.  Personally, I could take or leave the pool… but I absolutely LOVE to entertain.  

Nothing makes me happier than feeding the people I love.  But, let’s be real.  That takes a lot of work and energy to make happen on an almost daily basis, so summer entertaining for me is all about quick + easy.   That’s what makes this Summer BBQ Hot Dog and Burger Charcuterie Board so perfect!

Here’s why this epic Summer BBQ Hot Dog and Burger Charcuterie Board is perfect for easy entertaining:

  • no indoor cooking
  • prep is almost all done way ahead of time
  • it’s a full meal in itself… no need for extra sides
  • guests can eat at their leisure

Summer eating is all about casual.  My kids don’t want to stop splashing to come to a table, sit down, and eat.  

Food seems to taste better poolside anyway!  Am I right?! 

When it comes to having a successful ultimate Hot Dog and Burger Charcuterie Board, it’s all about the options!

Sahlen Hot Dogs

Sure, a straight up grilled beef hot dog or juicy burger with the usual accompaniments are 100% acceptable and downright delicious.  And sometimes, those classic flavor combinations are all I want on a hot summer day.  

But have you ever walked into a donut shop or ice cream parlor and gotten that giddy feeling seeing ALL. THE. FLAVORS.  That’s what this creative charcuterie board provides:  an epic assortment of visual, textural, and flavorful possibilities!  

The goal is that WOW factor.  And although I of course want all my guests to have creative freedom with how they put together their epic hot dog and burger creations, I also know some people get a wee-bit overwhelmed with options.  That’s why you’ll see some specific flavor combination recommendations below.  At the end of the day, though, there are no rules.  Even the listed ingredients are just suggestions.  Use this opportunity to show off your creative side.

No matter what toppings you choose, make sure that the vast majority of them can be prepared ahead of time.  You can just put them in separate bowls and keep in the fridge until ready to serve!

Here’s a quick guide to make sure your Summer BBQ Hot Dog and Burger Charcuterie Board is a raging success:

  • use your favorite beef hot dogs and burgers!  
  • bacon is always a good idea!
  • don’t underestimate the power of buns! Potato buns are my gold standard, but sliced baguette, hoagie rolls, pretzel buns, naan, and even tortillas are fun options!
  • topping options should include fresh, pickled, crunchy, sweet, creamy, savory, and spicy. You want to hit as many taste buds as possible!
  • cook up a big tray of fries and tots for easy sides (and use them to fill in the visual “gaps” between toppings so that the board looks full!
