  • Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog

Warmer weather just calls for some good hamburger and hot dog recipes! This specific recipe has been one that I’ve wanted to recreate at home for a while. While we were at a picnic through our local energy co-op there was a gourmet hot dog truck there and this was the one that I chose.

I picked it because- 1) It had bacon on it! 2) There was a sauce on it that sounded amazing, garlic aioli. My interest peaked and I am glad that I chose this one, amazing.

Now that I’ve made this recipe at home, I will definitely be adding it to my hot dog rotation for sure!

What beer pairs well with gourmet hot dogs?

The beer: Two Hearted from Bell’s Brewery

A perfect IPA pairing that doesn’t take away from the bacon and aioli.

For this Mitten Movie Night, I’m finishing up Santa Clarita Diet. I am so sad to hear that this show that I LOVE has been canceled. So long Sheila, so long Gary.

Ingredients

These wrapped hot dogs have-

  • All beef bun-sized hot dogs. My favorite brands are Koegel or Nathan’s.
  • Soft hot dog buns. I like to steam them before adding the hot dog.
  • Original sliced bacon. Make sure not to buy thick-cut as it won’t wrap around the hot dog as nicely as the original sliced bacon.
  • Homemade garlic aioli made with mayo, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. A simple topping that adds lots of flavors.
  • Monterey Jack cheese and jalapenos for topping.

How to make an oven-baked bacon-wrapped hot dogs step-by-step

Wrapping bacon on hot dogs is so simple! Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees.

Wrapping the baking sheet with aluminum foil will make cleanup so much easier!

Start by taking a piece of bacon at the top of a hot dog. Wrap the bacon going down around the hot dog. Place on the baking sheet that is covered in foil and topped with a wire rack.

Continue until they are all wrapped.

Bake in the oven for 12-18 minutes. The quickness of these getting done depends on your oven temperature.

Take the bacon and put it under the broiler for 40-50 seconds.

Take them out and turn, and put them under the broiler again for another 40-50 seconds to crisp the other side.

Steam some buns and add the hot dogs to them. Now they are ready for topping!

How to make garlic aioli

In a small bowl mix together the mayo, garlic cloves, 1 tsp lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

To top off the hot dog I slathered garlic aioli on top and sprinkled Monterey Jack cheese and jalapenos.

Tips & Variations

  • You can skip using the broiler to brown the bacon and just add 4-6 more minutes to the cooking time.
  • Swap out the original ingredients for turkey hot dogs and bacon.
  • Make homemade hot dog buns with this recipe from The Recipe Rebel.

Storage

Add the hot dogs in the buns to a covered container. Spoon any remaining sauce into another bowl and cover. Refrigerate and eat within 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, air fryer, or oven.
