Have you heard that it’s National Coney Dog Day?!  I didn’t know there was such a day!  Well, throw your favorite hot dog, brat or veggie dog on the grill and top it with some Dr. Pepper BBQ Sauce. The recipe is below and you’re going to love it.

By the way, I also heard that it’s National Tequila Day… Now that’s my kind of holiday ????

The best part about this Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce is that it’s versatile and can be used in so many different ways.

Use it to glaze some baby back ribs, add it to a grilled chicken breast salad, or heck, be bold and make my grilled potato salad recipe and use some of this Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce instead of the lemon vinaigrette dressing.
