I made these Memphis hot dogs in the oven. The bacon came out nice and crisp! Did you know that these aren’t the only bacon-wrapped hot dogs on my blog? Check out these Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs topped with rich garlic aioli.

Ingredients

  • All-beef hot dogs
  • Fresh bakery hot dog buns
  • Sliced bacon
  • Memphis style BBQ sauce, a vinegar based sauce that can be homemade or store brought
  • Chopped green onions and shredded cheddar cheese for topping

How to make Memphis hot dogs step-by-step

For these, I use Nathan’s all-beef hot dogs. Wrap a piece of bacon down the length of each hot dog and lay it on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil.

Place in a preheated 375-degree oven for 12 minutes.

Now put the hot dogs under the broiler of your oven for 1 minute. With tongs turn them, then broil for one minute more.

Bacon wrapped hot dogs in buns with BBQ sauce, cheese and green onions off to the side.

Once they are done add them to hot dog buns.

Top off these Memphis hot dogs with chopped green onions, cheddar cheese, and some Memphis Style BBQ Sauce. I used my sauce recipe since it is on the vinegary side, which is what Memphis Style BBQ sauces are based on.

Tips & Variations

  • When cooking bacon under a broiler, make sure to now put directly under the flame since the grease could possibly cause an issue. I place my pan vertically and left of the flame. (check your type of stove as these directions may vary)
  • You can replace the bacon with turkey bacon.
  • Make your own hot dog buns using this recipe from The Flavor Bender.

Serve with some crispy air fryer potatoes. And here you are…..

Notes

Tips for making this recipe:

  • If you do not want to use aluminum foil,  you can skip using it. Clean up is just much easier when you use it. 
  • When broiling the hog dogs, DO NOT put them under the direct flame. Place the pan vertical to the left of the flame (these directions may vary with the type of stove you have).

    I’ve never heard of Memphis Hot Dogs and clearly I’ve been missing out! I find plain hot dogs too boring, but these look amazing. Will definitely be on our summer menu!
