Ingredients
- 8 pieces Hot dogs
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 8 pieces Hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Onion (optional, finely chopped)
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
Step 2
Cut each hot dog lengthwise into thin strips. Then, cut the long strips in half to create 'worm-like' pieces.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, drop the hot dog strips into the pot and boil for 2-3 minutes. This will cause them to curl and look more 'worm-like.'
Step 4
Drain the hot dog 'worms' and set aside.
Step 5
If using onions, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions until softened and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Add the cooked hot dog 'worms' to the skillet. Pour in the barbecue sauce and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Step 7
Lightly toast the hot dog buns (optional) and place a generous scoop of the hot dog 'worms' into each bun.
Step 8
Garnish with shredded lettuce, if desired, for an extra touch of texture and spookiness.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy these fun and creepy sandwiches!
