Memphis Hot Dogs are a classic regional favorite. Bacon-wrapped hot dogs are topped with BBQ sauce, cheese, and then sprinkled with chopped green onions.
Let’s agree that bacon is amazing. Bacon-wrapped anything is again, pretty amazing. What about an all-beef hot dog wrapped in bacon then drizzled with a vinegary BBQ sauce? CAN ANYTHING GET MORE AMAZING?
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.
How to make Memphis Hot Dogs:
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.
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.
Serve with some crispy air fryer potatoes. And here you are…..
