Ingredients:
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 slices of bacon
- 4 hot dog buns
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- ¼ cup diced onions (optional)
- ¼ cup pickle relish (optional)
- Mustard and ketchup, for serving
- Toothpicks
Instructions:
- Prepare the Hot Dogs: Take two hot dogs and place them side by side. Wrap a slice of bacon around the hot dogs, starting at one end and working your way to the other. Secure the bacon in place with toothpicks on each end. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and bacon slices.
- Grill the Bacon-Wrapped Dogs: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the bacon-wrapped hot dogs on the grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the hot dogs are heated through, about 10-12 minutes.
- Toast the Buns (Optional): If desired, lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Assemble the Dogs: Remove the bacon-wrapped double dogs from the grill and discard the toothpicks. Place each double dog in a bun. If using, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and allow it to melt slightly.
- Add Toppings: Add diced onions, pickle relish, mustard, and ketchup as desired.
- Serve: Serve the bacon-wrapped double dogs immediately while hot. Enjoy!
These indulgent Bacon-Wrapped Double Dogs are sure to satisfy your cravings for something both familiar and deliciously different.
