Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 beef hot dogs (we like Nathan's or Hebrew National)
8 hot dog buns
your favorite hot dog toppings
3/4 c. ketchup
1/2 c. BBQ sauce (we used Bull's Eye original)
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. onion powder

Steps:

  • Combine sauce ingredients in a medium-sized sauce pot. When sauce is combined and sugar is dissolved (don't quite bring to a boil) remove from heat and set aside.
  • Add hot dogs to slow cooker and pour sauce over. Stir to evenly distribute the sauce. Cook on high heat for about 2 hours (don't discard the sauce-- you may want to pour extra over your hot dogs before eating).
  • Remove hot dogs from slow cooker and grill on medium-high heat for about 2 minutes or so on each side or until desired doneness (I like mine just to have light grill marks).
  • Add hot dogs to hot dog buns and top with desired toppings and extra sauce.
