Ingredients

• 8 hot dog buns
• 8 beef hot dogs
• 2 onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 bottle of beer
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced onions, minced garlic, beer, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and dissolve the sugar.
2. Place the hot dogs in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the beer marinade over the hot dogs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the hot dogs from the marinade and set aside. Reserve the marinade for basting.
4. Grill the hot dogs for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through and nicely charred. During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the hot dogs with the reserved marinade for added flavor.
5. Toast the hot dog buns on the grill for a minute or until lightly toasted.
6. Place the grilled hot dogs in the buns and top with your favorite condiments, such as mustard, ketchup, relish, or sauerkraut.
7. Serve the Drunken Dogs immediately and enjoy the irresistible combination of flavors. They pair perfectly with a cold beer and make for a memorable meal.
