Marinated Hot Dogs

Well, who would’ve thought about marinating hot dogs? Sure, I marinate pork, chicken and beef all of the time. But it never occurred to me to make marinated hot dogs. Well, trust me, these hot dogs are delicious! They’re packed with flavor, and super moist! Just like with marinating anything else, you’ll get a much better end result. These are surprisingly good. They’re a great thing to serve at a cookout because they will be the center of every discussion. So make a big batch today!

Marinated Hot Dogs

No Boring Dogs. Ever.

This simple idea for marinated hot dogs really spices up plain old beef hot dogs. There’s no reason to make boring dogs when you just have to ‘soak’ them for an hour in Worcestershire sauce to end up with something so much better. If your first thought is that you do not need to do this, well… you need to do this! Give it a shot!

These are great to feed to guests, too. Watch the looks on their faces when they take that first bite. They’re thinking ‘ho-hum’ but that’s not what they’ll get. Sure, you can wow people with tons of toppings. But why go through all of that trouble but then have a boring beef dog? Step it up!

Holy Hot Dogs, Batman!

If you want even more flavor, and even to speed up the marinading process a bit, you can poke a few holes in the hot dogs first. Don’t go crazy with it. Just take a toothpick or a skewer and puncture them a bit. Just enough to let that good sauce get in.

Got Flavor?

Hey, this marinade is great as it is. But if you have other ideas, go for it! Now’s the time to kick up your dogs! Add some jalapeno slices in with the Worcestershire sauce. Use beef broth instead. Try beer! Once you’ve experienced how much flavor marinading can add to hot dogs you’ll want to experiment with all sorts of flavors!
