Ingredients

Scale

Hot Dogs and Marinade

  • 2 packages beef hot dogs (approximately 16 hot dogs total)
  • 1 cup yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Sauce

  • 1 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Coat Hot Dogs: In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the beef hot dogs, yellow mustard, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, onion powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Seal the bag and shake vigorously to coat all the hot dogs evenly with the mustard and spice mixture.
  3. Bake Hot Dogs: Spread the seasoned hot dogs evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Place them in the oven and bake for 1 hour to infuse the flavors and slightly caramelize the surface.
  4. Slice Hot Dogs: Remove the hot dogs from the oven and carefully slice each hot dog into thirds to create bite-sized pieces that mimic burnt ends.
  5. Increase Oven Temperature: Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to prepare for the final baking step.
  6. Toss with BBQ Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced hot dog pieces with the BBQ sauce, stirring until all pieces are thoroughly coated.
  7. Final Bake: Transfer the BBQ-coated hot dog pieces back onto the baking sheet, spreading them out evenly. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for an additional 10 minutes to set the sauce and create a sticky, flavorful glaze.
  8. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm as a delicious appetizer, snack, or party treat.

Notes

  • Use quality beef hot dogs for best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper to taste for desired spice level.
  • Feel free to substitute BBQ sauce with your favorite homemade or store-bought variety.
  • For an extra smoky flavor, finish the hot dogs on a grill instead of the oven during the final baking step.
  • These burnt ends are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
