The short and sweet behind this recipe, Carolina style burgers or hot dogs include four main toppings; chili, slaw, diced onion, and yellow mustard.
As for the chili, Carolina-style chili is a chili sauce as opposed to the thick and hearty versions you’ll find out west. That means no beans, no corn, no chunky tomatoes, and so forth. Which is why it’s great for spreading over burgers and hot dogs.
I used Ruth’s Chili and Cole Slaw for this video. Ruth’s of Gastonia, North Carolina has been serving the Carolinas deli sides and salads since 1953.
As a born and raised Carolinian, I have my own recipes for Carolina chili and slaw. I’ve included those recipe videos below as an extra bonus. Enjoy! The rest of the recipe can be found below.
