Lil' Joe's Smoked Hot Dog Recipe

Prepare the Hot Dogs

In a mixing bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice mix over the hot dog sausages evenly.

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill or smoker to medium-high heat.

Cook the Hot Dogs

Once the grill is ready, brush the hot dogs with vegetable oil and place them on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are heated through and have grill marks.

Prepare the Fries

While the hot dogs are cooking, prepare the kid-sized fries according to package instructions (baking or frying).

Assemble the Hot Dogs

Once the hot dogs are cooked, place each on a bun and add ketchup and mustard to taste.

Serve

Plate the hot dogs with a side of kid-sized fries and a small drink.
