Oven Roasted BBQ Bourbon Hot Dogs and Mac and Cheese

For the BBQ Bourbon Hot Dogs:

For The Rub:

Ingredients:

*2 pkgs of hot dogs; I used all beef; cut into bite size pieces

*1 TBS mustard

*1 TBS BBQ rub; I like Penzey’s BBQ of the Americas https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/barbecue-of-the-americas/c-24/p-498/pd-s

For The BBQ Bourbon Sauce:

Ingredients:

*1 C. your favorite BBQ sauce

*1/4 C. Bourbon

*1/4 tsp. Chipotle powder, or more to taste

*1/2 tsp. onion powder, or more to taste

*1/2 tsp. garlic powder; or more to taste

*2 tsp. balsamic vinegar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 225°

In a large bowl add hot dog pieces; add ingredients to the rub to the hot dogs and toss to coat. Spray a baking pan with no stick spray and pour the hot dogs into the pan. Spread evenly in one layer. Cook for 1 hour. Mix together all of the ingredients to the BBQ sauce; set aside.

After 1 hour, pour the BBQ sauce over the hot dogs and mix until they are all coated in the sauce. Raise the oven temperature to 375° and cook for about 20 minutes more; stir once more after they come out of the oven.

For the mac and Cheese

Ingredients:

*3 1/2 TBS butter

*3 TBS flour

*2 C. milk

*2 1/2 C. water

*1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)

*1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)

*1 tsp. salt or more to taste

*white pepper to taste

*2 1/2 C. elbow macaroni

*1 C. Cheddar cheese

*1 C. Colby Jack cheese

Directions:

Heat a medium pot to medium high heat; add butter. When the butter melts, add in the flour and stir to combine. Cook for about 1 minute while stirring. Pour in 3/4 C. of the milk and stir until smooth and it starts to thicken.

Add in remaining milk, water and seasonings; stir to combine. Add macaroni and stir.

When the milk starts to steam, turn the heat down to medium low. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until macaroni is al dente and sauce has thickened; stirring often.

Take off of the heat and stir in the cheeses until melted.

Place a serving of mac and cheese on a plate and top with the BBQ Bourbon Hot Dogs.

Enjoy!
