Thread: Bacon wrapped hot dogs....

I am also going to soak the ****ers in beer prior to wrap, rub and grill.

Wrap the bacon over the hot dog, toothpicked the ends to hold it tight, then I massaged the ****ers with this Applewood rub that I found. Holy ****, that made a difference, works perfectly with the bacon and the hot dog. I found this hickory maple rub that looks intriguing as well. Then I threw them on the grill until it started to get crispy and just enough char around the egdes and grill spots. I topped two in my standard fashion with a little Tapatio and some shredded extra sharp cheddar. The third one I topped with some baked beans (al la chili dogs).

The first few times I made these I fried them....certainly good but the grill method works much better IMO. I'm thinking the only way to improve it would be to put them in a smoker.

Anyone else make these, and if so what methods and such do you have different from mine? I wanna try different things and perfect these, as I'm already too far gone to ever eat a hot dog the regular way ever again. If the hot dog doesn't have bacon on it...not going into my digestive system.

Okay, made a breakfast version today. Same method...minus the soaking the dogs in beer for a few hours. I also used Adele's Breakfast Links (turkey/chicken) instead of dogs. Then...here's where the WTF came in...dip them in syrup. Oh yes.

Alright, who's made them and what did you do. Gonna be making some for 4th of July on the BBQ and have some ideas but figured id see if there were any recommendations from people who've made them before.

I did, make sure to use a griddle over the flames of the BBQ (bacon grease drippings and fire= lots of fire), also make sure to use toothpicks to have the bacon hold onto the hot dog

Did you just do a basic wrap bacon around a hotdog and grill it or did you season it at all? Was thinking about dipping them in Jack Daniels BBQ sauce first. Ive also seen some recipes that slit the dog first and stuff it with cheese or sauerkraut.
