Barbecued Hotdogs

As a kid, this was one of my favorite foods that my mom would cook. I still remember the white crockery dish that she would bake it in. My great-grandmother was actually the first person to cook this for me (though I was too young to remember). My mom says that we went to visit my great-grandparents at their campsite in Raccoon Holler, a campground in Jefferson, NC. When we got there, my great grandmother (Mamaw Getsy) had cooked a cake of cornbread and was cooking these hot dogs in a cast iron pot over the fire. Apparently, I loved the barbecued hot dogs so much that my mom got the recipe from Mamaw Getsy. Later, my mom published the recipe in my preschool cookbook. Since getting married, I have made it for my husband a few times. He gets just as excited about it as I did when I was young.

1 pkg hot dogs
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp dill pickle relish
1/4 c. chopped onion
1 can tomato soup

Cut hot dogs into bite-size pieces. Mix remaining ingredients. Add hot dogs. Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or cook on stove top for 10 minutes.

I think they are best when cooked in the oven, but the stove top is also delicious if you are in a hurry. This is one of my "go-to" meals when I am in a pinch after getting home late from work. It's so quick and easy--and I almost always have all of the ingredients on-hand.
