Hot Dog Burnt Ends
This checks all the boxes: family-friendly, quick-to-prep, cost-effective…and best of all, deliciously smokey. I’m not sure if it’s just food people (food writers, avid cooks… ) that go through food phases. One example might be obsessing over a particular salad combination and making it over and over again.
