Equipment

Saucepan

Ingredients

2 medium sweet onions sliced
8 hot dogs
8 hot dog buns

For the sauce

1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce spicy!
⅓ cup hot sauce
1-3 tablespoons jalapeno minced
½ tablespoon garlic powder
beer

Instructions

To make the sauce, combine all ingredients except the beer in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add just enough beer to slightly thin the sauce.
Let sauce simmer while you cook the dogs, stirring occasionally. Add more beer if the sauce is too thick.
Grill the onions until just soft.
Grill the hot dogs and toast the buns.
Serve dogs on buns slathered with the sauce and topped with the onions.

Notes

I like to cut a thin shallow slit down the lengths of my hot dogs before cooking. The cut will open up as the dogs cook, giving the toppings a place to go.
