Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog

  • 1 hot dog

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or prepare a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Wrap one hot dog with 2-3 slices of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if needed.
  3. For oven cooking: Place the bacon-wrapped hot dog on a baking sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. For skillet cooking: Cook in the skillet for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy.
  4. While the hot dog cooks, lightly toast your hot dog bun in the same skillet for a few seconds per side, or until lightly browned.
  5. Remove the bacon-wrapped hot dog from the oven or skillet. Carefully remove the toothpick if used.
  6. Place the cooked hot dog in the toasted bun and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
