Bacon: You can personalize your bacon-wrapped hot dogs by using different types of bacon, such as maple-glazed, peppered, or smoked bacon, to add unique flavors. Hot Dogs: I recommend using high-quality hot dogs with your preferred flavor and texture. Consider options like beef, pork, chicken, or veggie dogs based on your dietary preferences. Hot Dog Buns: The choice of hot dog buns can greatly impact the overall enjoyment of your hot dog. You can use classic white buns, potato, brioche, pretzels, or gluten-free buns. If you have an egg allergy, make sure your buns are egg-free. Toppings of your Preference: Bacon-wrapped hot dogs pair well with a wide range of toppings. You can keep it simple with classic condiments like mustard and ketchup or get creative with additional toppings such as chopped tomatoes, onion, and jalapenos, like I did this time. However, the possibilities are endless! Check my favorite toppings ideas below.

17 Topping Ideas for Hot Dogs

Get creative and enjoy experimenting with different flavors to find the perfect combination that satisfies your taste buds. Toast the Buns. Place the buns in a toaster oven or broil them for a minute to toast them before serving. Use Kitchen Tongs. Use tongs to handle the hot dogs and avoid piercing them, as this can cause the juices to escape and dry them out. Avoid Overcooking. To prevent a dry and rubbery texture, it’s important to pay close attention to the cooking time and avoid overcooking the hot dogs. Once they’re heated through and have a slight char, it’s best to remove them from the grill. Make Ahead. Just wrap the bacon around the hot dogs and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to cook. Then when you’re ready, simply grill the wrapped hot dogs on the stovetop in a skillet or on your grill. So easy, and they’ll be done baking in just minutes! Get Creative with the Toppins. Feel free to mix and match different toppings based on your preferences and create your own unique combination.

Storing & Freezing Instructions

Refrigerate: Once cooked, you can store bacon-wrapped hot dogs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freezing: You can freeze the uncooked hot dogs for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe storage bag or container. Reheating: Heat some oil or butter in a skillet on the stove over medium heat. Place the bacon-wrapped sausage in the pan and fry until it is warmed through, turning it frequently. You can also heat it in the microwave in 30-second increments or a toaster oven at 300°F for 5-10 minutes until heated through.
