My fellow #SundaySupper tastemakers and I, are celebrating National Hot Dog Month, by sharing our most creative hot dog recipes. No boring ketchup and mustard here! From tasty BBQ to yummy sides, there is no shortage of amazing hot dog recipes in this week’s event.

Go to any backyard cookout during the Summer, and you’ll almost always see those ever popular hot dogs and hamburgers, sizzling on the grill. And for good reason. They’re quick, easy, cheap, and appeal to everyone’s taste-buds.

Well now you can save that grill space for other things, because these Honey BBQ Hot Dogs are cooked in a crockpot! They’re super easy to make, and taste amazing. The BBQ sauce is homemade and slightly sweet, for a hot dog that is anything but average.

Don’t stop there though. Serve some of this tasty sauce as a condiment for your other entrees, like burgers or chicken. Your family and guests will love it!
