Instructions

BBQ Sauce – Step one

Add Red Gold Folds of Honor Ketchup, Red Gold Mama Selita’s Jalapeno Ketchup, and Red Gold Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce Ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, half of garlic, shallot, dry mustard, 1/2 of salt and pepper to a bowl.  Whisk to combine, set aside.

Skewers – Step one

Preheat oven to 325°F.  Add ground beef, other half of garlic, other half of salt and pepper, and parsley to a bowl and combine.  Form miniature meatballs, about 2 inches in diameter.  Place on a parchment lined sheet pan, bake 15 minutes, flipping half way through.

Step two

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.  Grill hot dogs until all sides have char lines, 6-8 minutes.  Once cooled, cut into thirds. 

Step three

Build 5 hot dog skewers, with half a hot dog bun on the top and bottom of each. Alternate between hot dogs, onion, pickle, yellow and orange bell peppers.  Build hamburger skewers, with the slider bun halves on the top and bottom of each.  Alternate between meatballs, tomato, lettuce, onion, pickle and cheese.

Step four

Brush skewers generously with barbecue sauce mixture. Carefully place on hot grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.  Cook about 4 minutes, flipping halfway through, until buns are toasted, vegetables are slightly charred, and cheese is warm and melty.  Transfer to a platter lined with large iceberg leaves.  Brush with remaining sauce, serve warm.
