  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      cups          favorite hickory-flavored barbecue sauce
   2      6 oz cans     prepared bean dip
   1 1/2  cups          finely chopped onion
     1/2  cup           dark brown sugar
   6      tablespoons   dark molasses
     1/4  cup           vinegar
   1      teaspoon      garlic powder
     1/4  teaspoon      Tabasco(R) sauce
     1/4  teaspoon      salt (or hickory-flavored salt)
     1/4  teaspoon      pepper
  60                    cocktail hot dogs -- OR
                        regular hot dogs -- cut in 1" pieces

In a large saucepan combine all the ingredients except the hot dogs.  Simmer
the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently.  If the mixture
becomes thicker than desired, thin out with a small amount of water, adding
a tablespoon at a time.  I prefer my sauce thick and hearty.

Add the mini-dogs to the sauce and simmer until they are warmed through.
Transfer the sauce and mini-dogs to a chafing dish and serve hot.  Makes
about 60.

Do-Ahead Note:  Prepare the sauce several days in advance and refrigerate.
At party time, add the mini-dogs to the sauce, heat thoroughly, and serve.
