Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Hot dogs
- 4 pieces Hot dog buns or sandwich rolls
- 0.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Small pickles (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Slice each hot dog lengthwise into thin strips to mimic worms. Set them aside.
2. In a medium skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
3. Add the sliced hot dogs to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they curl up and resemble 'worms'.
4. While the hot dogs are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing the barbecue sauce, mustard, and ketchup in a small bowl until well combined.
5. When the hot dog 'worms' are cooked, lower the heat and pour the sauce into the skillet. Stir well to coat the 'worms' evenly. Let the sauce warm through, about 1 minute.
6. Open the hot dog buns or sandwich rolls and place an optional lettuce leaf inside each one for garnish (if desired).
7. Spoon the sauced hot dog 'worms' into each bun, distributing them evenly.
8. Optionally, cut the pickles into thin slices and place them on top of the 'worms' for extra garnish and crunch.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your spooky, playful sandwiches!
