The method
Step by step
- 1
Cut the hot dogs into 1-inch thick rounds.
About 5 min
- 2
In a medium pot or saucepan, combine the ketchup, packed brown sugar, finely chopped yellow onion, and Worcestershire sauce.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Whisking the sauce ingredients together before heating helps the sugar dissolve more evenly.
- 3
Place the pot over medium heat and stir until the sauce begins to simmer and the sugar has completely dissolved.
About 3 min
- 4
Add the cut hot dog pieces to the pot and stir to coat them evenly in the sauce.
About 1 min
- 5
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow it to simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
About 1 hr
Cook’s note: The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld. You can also use a slow cooker on low for 2-3 hours for this step.
