What Makes It a Sweet Diamond Dog?

It starts with our signature frank — crafted with premium cuts, natural casings, and that satisfying snap you only get from a quality hot dog. We don't cut corners on the dog, so you shouldn't cut corners on the toppings.

Enter: homemade pimento cheese — Sweet Diamond style.

🧀 The Recipe: Sweet Diamond Pimento Cheese

This isn't your average pimento cheese. It's got heat, tang, and a little sweetness — and it's the kind of recipe you'll be making on repeat all summer long.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup good quality mayonnaise (eyeball it — you may need up to ¼ cup more)
  • ½ cup pickled jalapeños (we use our own sweet-hot pickled jalapeños — if you don't have those, add ½ tsp sugar to balance the flavor)
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce (optional, but recommended)
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • 8 oz Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese, freshly grated
  • 4 oz sliced pimentos, drained
  • ½ tsp sugar (only if not using sweet pickled jalapeños)
  • 1 tsp onion chip and dip seasoning
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Make your base. Combine the sriracha, mayonnaise, pickled jalapeños, diced red onion, sugar (if using), chip and dip seasoning, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix until totally combined.
  2. Add the cheese. Fold in the grated cheddar and Monterey Jack gently with a rubber spatula until combined. Scrape the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.
  3. Stir in the pimentos.
  4. Taste and adjust. More cheese = less creamy. Less cheese = more creamy. More jalapeños = more heat. Make it yours.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving — the flavors come together beautifully as it chills.

Pro tip: Make it the night before. It gets even better.

🌭 Building the Perfect Pimento Cheese Sweet Diamond Dog

  1. Grill or pan-sear your Sweet Diamond frank until you get a nice char on the outside.
  2. Toast your bun — a little butter in a skillet goes a long way.
  3. Load on the pimento cheese — don't be shy. A generous schmear is the move.
  4. Optional toppings: extra pickled jalapeños, crispy fried onions, or a drizzle of hot honey for a sweet-heat finish.
  5. Serve immediately and prepare for compliments.
