Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Hot dogs
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 8 pieces Hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Onion (optional, finely chopped)
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
Cut each hot dog lengthwise into thin strips. Then, cut the long strips in half to create 'worm-like' pieces.
Once the water is boiling, drop the hot dog strips into the pot and boil for 2-3 minutes. This will cause them to curl and look more 'worm-like.'
Drain the hot dog 'worms' and set aside.
If using onions, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions until softened and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Add the cooked hot dog 'worms' to the skillet. Pour in the barbecue sauce and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Lightly toast the hot dog buns (optional) and place a generous scoop of the hot dog 'worms' into each bun.
Garnish with shredded lettuce, if desired, for an extra touch of texture and spookiness.
Serve immediately and enjoy these fun and creepy sandwiches!
