Ingredients

  • 12 all-beef hot dogs
  • 12 hot dog buns

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cover a baking sheet in aluminum foil.
  • Place the hot dogs on the sheet. Leave space between the dogs for even baking.
  • Cook for 15 minutes in the oven.
  • Using tongs to handle each dog, serve warm on a toasty bun with your favorite condiments.

Notes

  • Pierce your hot dogs with a fork or score with a knife to help them cook faster and soak up toppings.
  • For a crispier hot dog, broil for the last 2 minutes.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave or air fryer for a quick snack.
  • Keep baked hot dogs warm in a slow cooker on low for parties.
  • Lightly butter and toast your bun before adding your hot dog for an extra flavor boost.
  • Make a bacon-wrapped version of these baked hot dogs for an indulgent upgrade.
  • Add a sweet kick by brushing your hot dogs with a mix of brown sugar and BBQ sauce before baking.
