How to Make Barbecued Hot Dogs

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Split the 8 hot dogs lengthwise and place them in a 13x5 baking dish.
  3. In a medium saucepan, sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add 1 cup barbecue sauce, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard to the saucepan.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Pour the BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the hot dogs in the baking dish.
  7. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes, or until the hot dogs are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
