Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dog Recipe
a FoodieView Original Recipe by Founder Howie Wang
We tend to think of the hot dog as a quintessentially American food, but this fiendishly delicious variation comes via our neighbors South of the border. The Danger Dog is a hot dog wrapped in bacon and served with grilled onions and peppers. Street vendors in Mexico have been serving these treats for years, and now bacon-wrapped hot dogs have made their way north to California and New York, where they have become a favorite post-barhopping snack. We’re not sure if the Danger Dog got its perilous name from its artery-clogging nature or the questionable sanitation standards of their vendors. Whatever the reason, this bit of bacony goodness makes for serious man food on the big game day. And the best part is that it’s really quick and easy to make. Yields 8 servings.
- 1 large onion
- 3 to 4 jalapenos
- 8 strips of bacon
- 8 hot dogs
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 8 hot dog buns
- Mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard (optional)
- Cut onion into slices. Cut jalapenos in half, remove seeds, and slice them lengthwise into 1/8-inch wide strips.
- Wrap a strip of bacon tightly around each hot dog.
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large pan. Add onions and peppers, but keep the onions and peppers separate from each other. Cook until soft and a little brown (about 12 minutes).
- Meanwhile, cook bacon-wrapped hot dogs in another pan over medium heat. Turn hot dogs occasionally until bacon is crisp on all sides (about 12 minutes).
- After hot dogs are cooked, stick them in buns and top with sautéed onions and peppers to taste.
- You can add ketchup or mustard, but the traditional condiment is mayo.
