Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, BBQ sauce, liquid smoke, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Divide the beef mixture into six equal portions, then shape each portion around a hot dog, creating a corn dog shape.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, and baking powder. Gradually add in the milk until you achieve a smooth batter.
  5. Dip each beef-coated hot dog into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Carefully place the corn dogs into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  2. Once fried, remove the corn dogs and let them drain on paper towels.
Serving
  1. Serve the deep-fried smoky BBQ burger corn dogs in hot dog buns with extra BBQ sauce for dipping.

Notes

For best results, ensure your oil is at the right temperature. You can try adding cheese or jalapeños to the beef mix for extra flavor. Serve with assorted dipping sauces for variety.
