It’s the end of the school year and I brought home my hot dog leftovers from school hot lunch. What on earth should I do with them? I made Hot Dog Burnt ends. They are a true revelation – crispy on the outside, incredibly juicy within, and bursting with savory flavor. Each bite delivers a delightful contrast in textures, from the slightly charred, smoky exterior to the tender, flavorful interior. They're seasoned and sauced to perfection, making them utterly delicious on their own. For an extra kick, serve them with your favorite mustard for dipping; the tangy bite of mustard perfectly complements the rich, savory burnt ends.

Ingredients

2 packages beef hot dogs (20 hot dogs)

1 cup yellow mustard

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 cup BBQ sauce

Directions

1Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2Combine hot dogs, mustard, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, onion powder, and black pepper in a large resealable bag. Shake bag so hot dogs are well coated with mustard and spice mixture. Spread out seasoned hot dogs onto the prepared baking sheet. 

3Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

4Remove hot dogs and cut them into thirds. Increase oven temperature to 400° F.
