Description

Yes, it’s hot dogs—but not like you’ve ever had them. Smoky, sweet, and sticky, these charred bites of joy are backyard BBQ magic. One bite and you’re officially team burnt ends. Let’s make your grill sing.


Ingredients

Scale

3 packages hot dogs (32 oz each)

2/3 cup BBQ sauce

1/3 cup yellow mustard

2 tsp liquid smoke

1 tbsp paprika

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1/2 cup brown sugar (divided)


Instructions

Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cut hot dogs into thirds or leave whole if preferred.

In a large bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, mustard, liquid smoke, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and half the brown sugar.

Toss hot dogs in the sauce mixture until evenly coated.

Place hot dogs in a foil pan or baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar over the top.

Bake or grill for 45–60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges are caramelized and slightly charred.

Serve hot with toothpicks or toasted buns—whatever fits the vibe!
