Ingredients
  

  • 8 hot dogs
  • 1 cup sweet barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon steak sauce
  • 1 tablespoon relish
  • ½ onion sliced

Instructions
 

  • Cut the hot dogs in half lengthwise, then slice into tapered strips in the shape of rat/mouse tails. Slice ridges along the strips to make them bendy and add “vertebrae.”
  • Add the sliced dogs to a slow cooker along with the onion, whole grain mustard, steak sauce, relish and barbecue sauce. Stir gently with a spatula then cover.
  • Slow cook on HIGH for four hours; or on LOW for eight hours. Keep warm prior to serving.
  • Serve scoops of barbecued rat tails on your favorite style of hamburger buns and enjoy. Happy Halloween!
