Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs
Hot dogs are good. Hot dogs wrapped in bacon? BETTER. Add some sautéed onions and peppers on top, all the fixins, and a crispy grilled bun, and you are well on your way to summer perfection.

Ingredients
- 6 hot dogs (*)
- 6 slices bacon
- toothpicks
- 6 buns
- butter or mayonnaise (for grilling the buns)
- all the fixins (ketchup mustard, mayo, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 half onion (sliced)
- 1 g reen pepper
- 1 jalapeno
- salt and pepper to taste
Steps
-
Heat your grill to low heat.
-
Wrap one slice of bacon around each hot dog. Use 2 toothpicks per hot dog to secure them on the ends. (Push the toothpicks in as far as you can so they don't burn.)
-
Grill the hot dogs on low heat for several minutes, turning every couple minutes to cook all the bacon. This should take about 8-10 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your bacon.
-
When they are almost done, spread your buns with either mayonnaise or butter. Grill cut-side-down for about 1-3 minutes, until they have some nice grill marks on them.
-
Meanwhile, make the topping. Slice the onions. Slice the green peppers into bite-size strips. Slice the jalapeno thinly, discarding the membrane.
-
In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until it is hot and melted. Add the vegetables and saute for about 6-8 minutes, until they are as done as you like them.
-
Top each hot dog with onion mixture, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, etc.
