Mustard Dog with Sweet Ketchup Sauce

Ingredients

• All beef hot dogs or polish dogs
• Hot dog buns
• Butter (to toast hot dog buns)
• 1 white onion (diced)
• Yellow or spicy brown mustard
• ¾ cup ketchup
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp bbq sauce
• ¼ cup honey
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 ½ tsps worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp onion powder
• Dash of black pepper

Method

1. To make the sauce add ketchup, brown sugar, BBQ sauce, honey, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and black pepper together in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 1 minute increments until the sugar is dissolved. Let it cool and pour into a plastic squeeze bottle.
2. Set your griddle to medium heat.
3. Use a sharp knife to make crisscross cuts in the hotdogs, about a quarter of the way through. Do this on two sides of the hot dogs. This increases the surface area of the hot dogs and will let them get more covered in the mustard.
4. Cook the hot dogs for about 3 minutes per side. While they are still on the griddle, squeeze about two tablespoons of mustard onto each hot dog. Let them cook on the griddle for another minute or two.
5. Butter the hot dog buns and toast them on the griddle until they are golden brown.
6. Place the hot dog in the bun, top with the ketchup sauce and diced white onions.
