- 8 all-beef hot dogs
- 8 Slices uncured bacon
- 8 hot dog buns
- 1 1/2 cups guacamole homemade or store-bought, whichever you prefer
- 3/4 cup Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese, shredded
Wrap one slice of bacon around each hot dog and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes. We put our hot dogs on our cooling racks, set on top of a baking sheet, to catch the grease, and have the, get crisp since they won’t be sitting in said bacon grease.
Place the cooked hot dog in a bun and top with guacamole and generous sprinkle of the shredded cheese.
- We like to cook bacon wrapped hot dogs on our cooling racks set on top of a baking sheet to catch the grease. This lets them get nice and crisp since they won’t be sitting in bacon grease.
- Add some heat by using spicy guacamole.
- Feel free to load them up with other toppings as well. The sons love to spread a little barbecue sauce on the insides of their buns & diced tomatoes on top are a must for me!
