Description
Hot Dog Burnt Ends are a unique BBQ dish made from beef franks, coated in mustard and BBQ rub, smoked to perfection, and then caramelized with a sweet and tangy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 beef franks (your favorite kind of hot dog)
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp BBQ rub (any general purpose BBQ rub)
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- 4 tbsp butter (cut into pats)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 250°F.
- Remove your hot dogs from the package and coat them in the yellow mustard.
- Season the hot dogs on all sides with the barbecue seasoning/rub until they are well-coated.
- Place the hot dogs directly on the grates of your smoker and let them cook for 1 hour, or until they start to get charred and crispy on the edges (but not burnt).
- Remove hot dogs from the smoker and chop them into 1-1/2” long pieces.
- Add the chopped hot dogs to a pan and cover them in the pats of butter, brown sugar, and barbecue sauce. Cover the whole pan in aluminum foil.
- Place the pan back on the smoker, still at 250°F, for another hour or until the hot dogs are sticky and caramelized.
- Serve immediately alongside the remaining sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Feel free to use your favorite type of hot dog for this recipe.
