Hot dogs are a summertime staple. They’re also a must for grilling and tailgating. I decided to take my hot dog game to the next level by wrapping them in BACON! Not only does bacon heighten the savory flavor of the hot dog, but it also makes an irresistible crispy outer coating!

Below you’ll find the recipe instructions for both the oven and grill!

How many calories are in a bacon-wrapped hot dog?

How long do hot dogs take to grill?

They take about 7-10 minutes on a grill preheated to medium-high heat.

How do you make a hot dog dangerous?

This question sounds like the beginning of a joke, doesn’t it? All kidding aside, danger dogs originated in Mexico and were made popular in Los Angels as street food. The L.A. Times even calls them L.A.’s most iconic street food.
They are hot dogs that are wrapped in a thin piece of bacon. They’re grilled or fried and then topped with various toppings like sautéed onions and bell pepper, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and cilantro. Not surprising, these hot dogs can also be called “heart attack dogs” or “dirty dogs”.

How hot should grill be for hot dogs?

The grill should be pretty hot, not in the highest setting but pretty close. If you cook hot dogs on a grill that is not hot enough, you run the risk of them getting tough and dried out.

What are the best hot dogs to buy?

This really comes down to personal preference. However, I will give you my top choices. I like the following brands: Nathan’s, Oscar Mayer, Trader Joe’s, and Costco. I will use any one of these brands when making this recipe.

What is the best way to cook hot dogs on the stove?

Stovetop Sear Place a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has foamed and the foam has subsided, add 1 hot dog to the skillet. Sear, shifting every minute or so, until plumped and beginning to brown on each side, 3 to 4 minutes.

How long do you cook hot dogs on the stove?

Instructions.

Using a large saucepan add 1 qt of water and bring it to a boil. Add 8 hot dogs to the water. Bring to a full boil and heat for 4-5 minutes..

If you are using frozen hot dogs, boil for about 8 minutes..

How do you cook bacon

Preheat your griddle to medium heat for a few minutes. Then add the hot dogs with the seam side of the bacon down. No need for any cooking oil because the bacon will quickly create some grease. The hot dogs will cook for 9 to 11 minutes total, turning them a few times to get all sides of the bacon cooked.
