One of the things both Amanda and Robby love is when we have breakfast for dinner! We did that often when Jim was in Iraq and Afghanistan. I always knew the kids would go to bed with a full belly! I made this recipe for dinner and although Amanda is living away at college now, I know she would have enjoyed it as much as the rest of us. Robby had two helpings and I got a ” thanks for dinner Mom… that was great”. And Jim, well, he had three helpings! I think that says it all!

I started making these last summer and they are so tasty and can be changed up millions of ways. We are purist when it comes to these hot dogs. We simply like to wrap the hot dog in bacon, grill and baste with our favorite BBQ sauce!
INGREDIENTS
Hot dogs (your favorite variety)
Bacon (don’t use thick cut)
BBQ sauce (we use Kraft Honey BBQ sauce)
Toothpicks
DIRECTIONS
Preheat grill. Wrap hot dogs with bacon spiraling the bacon all the way down the dog. Secure with toothpicks. Place on the grill and while grilling, baste with BBQ sauce! Remove toothpicks when cooked through.
VARIATIONS
Slice hot dog lengthwise, but not cutting all the way through. Add your favorite cheese slices into the pocket of the dog but not over filling. Wrap with bacon and cook as directed above. You can also add pickled jalapeños along with the cheese! Mix and match and make your own creation. Let me know what you made and how they turned out!
Enjoy,
