Reviews
Get Costco hotdogs and the bourbon bacon sauce really was great. Way to make a hotdog more unique and interesting though I never find guests add it – almost need to prepare them and serve and people will love it
Way bomb. Swapped in a smoked sausage, no chilli, no bourbon; I used white wine vinegar and quadruple the bacon are the only changes I made.
Great recipe ..nice balance..I didn’t use bourbon but coleslaw was still awesome..added extra bacon !!!!!!!
Awesome!
