  • ½ cup brown sugar divided

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and Prep
  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

  • Pour the sauce over the hot dog pieces, tossing to coat evenly.
  • Prepare the Seasoning
  • Mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small dish.
  • Reserve ¼ cup of the brown sugar for later. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the hot dogs for even coverage.
  • Bake to Perfection
  • Bake the hot dogs in the oven for 1 hour, tossing halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • Sweeten and Crisp
  • Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the reserved ¼ cup of brown sugar over the top.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and return the dish to the oven.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the burnt ends are caramelized and crispy.
