Certain foods take us back to our childhood, and Dad’s Beer Braised Hot Dogs does just that for me! Usually on the weekends, my dad would cook beer dogs and snack on them while he was watching an Indy car race. This hot dog snack is simple to make and requires very few ingredients. All you need is a can of beer, hot dogs, tobasco sauce, and an onion. Nowadays, Dad uses Kielbasa instead of hot dogs, but I still prefer the classic version. However, one ingredient CAN’T be changed. Tabasco! If you subsititute this ingredient, it just won’t have the same kick. I hope you enjoy!
