One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving dinner is the big selection of appetizers. You gotta have something to munch on while you’re waiting on the meal to get ready. These little BBQ hot dog appetizers are very easy, but also very tasty. Sure you can cheat and just toss some dogs with store-bought BBQ sauce. But, you’ll find that this homemade version is oh so much better.
The Perfect Superbowl Snack
Of course, you can eat these any time of the year. They’re the perfect kind of treat that can be thrown together quickly when watching the big game.
This same recipe for BBQ hot dog appetizers would also be great with smoke sausages cut into bite-sized pieces.
Also try my BBQ pinwheels.
