Mocktail Wieners

Who doesn't have at least one social event this year that requires preparing an appetizer.  If you're trying to feed a crowd, try this quick, inexpensive recipe.  (The original recipe required a longer list on ingredients plus lots of measuring, stirring and simmering.  As I pulled the finished product from the oven I wondered why I had wasted so much time making BBQ sauce for hot dogs!)

Ingredients:
  • 1# Oscar Mayer Wieners (or other hot dogs) cut into quarters (leaving 1+ inch chunks)
  • 1/2 bottle of BBQ Sauce (enough to cover dogs)
Place cut up hot dogs in Pyrex dish.  Cover with BBQ sauce.  Stir, cover than bake for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.  Stir once while baking.  Serve with toothpicks.

Alternate Cooking Method:  Mix ingredients in Crock Pot and cook over medium heat until hot and bubbly.  Recipe can be doubled or tripled if needed.  Cooking time may need to be increased.

Note:  I originally made this to take to a potluck.  I was searching for something kids would eat and was later surprised by the number of adults who were going back for seconds!
