Step 1
Start by combining the hot dogs, brown sugar, ketchup, and bourbon in a saucepan. Bring everything to a gentle boil over medium heat. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the hot dogs are heated through and nicely coated with the sauce. Once they’re ready, transfer the mixture to a slow cooker to keep warm while you get everything else ready for serving.
