Hot dogs are the perfect answer for a weekend cookout. But instead of grilling them up and smothering them in ketchup and mustard, why not try cooking them in barbecue sauce?
When I think of barbecue sauce, chicken and ribs come to mind. After all, that's what one typically sees at restaurants that specialize in barbecue and summer parties. Something else I tend to see at summer parties are hot dogs. I usually cook them up on the grill because they're easy and a guaranteed hit with the kiddies. So, thanks to a Better Homes and Gardens suggestion, I decided to combine my two favorite summer party recipes and serve up some hot dogs that would thrill the adults just as much as the kids.
