How to Make Barbecued Worm Sandwiches Halloween Or Anytime

  1. Cut each hot dog lengthwise in half, then cut each half into thirds to create 6 strips per hot dog.
  2. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat the hot dog strips over medium-high heat until they begin to curl and slightly brown (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Gently stir in ½ cup of your favorite barbecue sauce until the hot dog strips are evenly coated.
  4. Continue to heat for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened.
  5. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each bun.
  6. Top with the hot dog 'worm' mixture and cover with the top halves of the buns.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
