Barbecue Frankburgers

Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef
– 4 hot dogs
– 4 hamburger buns
– 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional toppings: sliced cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles

Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

3. Divide the seasoned ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

4. Cut the hot dogs in half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. You want to create a pocket in each hot dog half.

5. Place a hot dog half inside each burger patty, pressing the meat around the hot dog to encase it completely.

6. Once the grill is hot, place the stuffed burger patties on the grill grates. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the burgers are cooked to your desired level of doneness.

7. During the last few minutes of grilling, brush each burger with barbecue sauce, allowing it to caramelize slightly on the meat.

8. While the burgers are cooking, you can also toast the hamburger buns on the grill for added flavor and texture.

9. Once the burgers are cooked through and the buns are toasted, assemble your Barbecue Frankburgers by placing each patty on a bun. Add your favorite toppings such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles.

10. Serve hot and enjoy the unique combination of flavors in every bite!

These Barbecue Frankburgers are sure to be a hit at your next barbecue cookout.
