Description
A fun, smoky, and sweet twist on a BBQ classic, these “burnt ends” use hot dogs as the star! Perfect for game day, cookouts, or a party snack, they’re tangy, saucy, and downright addictive.
Ingredients
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 oven to 250°F. Slice hot dogs into halves or thirds for more “burnt end” edges, if desired.
In a large bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, mustard, liquid smoke, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar.
Toss hot dogs in the sauce mixture until fully coated.
Spread onto a baking sheet or foil pan. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar over the top.
Bake uncovered for 1–1.5 hours, stirring halfway through, until caramelized and sticky.
Serve hot with toothpicks or in buns for a sweet-smoky snack.
