Spiral Hot Dogs with Queso Sauce

Anything on a stick is fun to eat. Especially if there are BBQ sauce and cheese involved. These spiral hot dogs are served with a queso dipping sauce that has the added bonus of being a fantastic dip for tortilla chips.

Spiral Hot Dogs with Queso Sauce

Adding Worcestershire sauce to BBQ sauce really adds a great flavor to these spiral hot dogs with queso sauce. People are expecting straight-up, normal BBQ sauce. Instead they get a nice surprise when they take that first bite. Try it at least once without the cheese. Then take that tasty dog and dunk it (deep) into that queso sauce and you’ve got a dog to remember. The spirals will help keep both the BBQ sauce and cheese sauce on the dogs. Not on the plate. That doesn’t do you any good. You want them in every bite!
