What's better than hot dogs? Hot dogs wrapped in bacon!
Ingredients
- Hot dogs
- Bacon slices (one slice per hot dog)
- Brown sugar for sprinkling (optional, but delicious}
- Vegetable oil or butter
Steps
-
1Lay out a slice of bacon on a silicon or wooden cutting board.
-
2Place the hot dog on the bacon at one end. Roll the bacon and hot dog around and around until the bacon covers the whole hot dog. Set aside.
-
3Repeat with the remaining hot dogs. You might need to use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place––judge this as you roll.
-
4Heat the heavy-based skillet over low heat. Add the butter or oil (use sparingly, as the bacon will make more fat as it cooks). Be mindful of spattering grease.
-
5Add the bacon-wrapped hot dogs. Sprinkle with a little brown sugar, if desired.
-
6Fry. Turn over midway, when the bottom side has browned and the bacon has begun to get crisp. Fry until the bacon looks cooked. Note: You might need to drain some of the grease from the skillet at this point.
-
7Remove skillet from the heat. Carefully lift out the cooked hot dogs with tongs or a spatula. Place on paper towelling to drain excess grease.
-
8Serve with coleslaw, cheese, mustard, relish or whatever other condiments you enjoy with hotdogs.
