Here I’ll share some tips and tricks to making the most delicious BLT Hot Dogs!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Whilst this might seem like some sort of a novelty recipe, I promise it’s incredibly delicious! Follow me…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hot dogs are great, but hot dogs wrapped in bacon are superior in every way. The crispy bacon with the soft and juicy filling? It’s too good. Think of it like a giant pig in a blanket!<\/p>\n I tested a few different hot dogs and found the firmer vacuum-packed ones work best. Raw hot dog style sausages also work well too. I found the thin soft jarred ones had a tendency to burst a little as they baked. If that’s all you have I recommend making a few slits in them before you wrap them in bacon.<\/p>\n Streaky bacon is best so it wraps around the sausages properly. Try and make sure it’s fairly thin (don’t use anything labelled as thick-cut). This is just to ensure it crisps up quickly without the sausages overcooking.<\/p>\n Given we’re apparently in for 100 days of rain this Summer, I opted to do these in the oven. You could also do them on the grill too if you’re lucky enough to catch the sun!<\/p>\n Process shots: wrap hot dogs in bacon and secure with toothpicks (photos 1&2), bake (photos 3&4).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Instead of just slicing the tomatoes, we’re going to dice them and marinate them as the hot dogs bake. Nothing fancy, just some red wine vinegar<\/strong>, olive oil<\/strong>, salt<\/strong> and pepper<\/strong>. This really heightens the flavour of the tomatoes with a lovely tangy flavour.<\/p>\n As the tomatoes marinate they’ll leak out some of their juices. Whilst we don’t want to add this to the hot dogs (they’ll go soggy) we don’t want to waste it either. I love to take a spoonful and mix it through the mayonnaise<\/strong>. I then store the leftover juices to incorporate in a salad dressing down the line.<\/p>\n To toast the buns, you can either pop them under the grill or place them in a super hot pan.<\/p>\n Process shots: marinate tomatoes (photo 1), scoop out a spoonful of the juice (photo 2), add to mayonnaise with hot sauce (photo 3), mix (photo 4), butter buns (photo 5), toast (photo 6).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I highly recommend using iceberg lettuce and shredding it very finely. It’s nice and sweet and works perfectly in this context.<\/p>\n Any variety will do the trick so long as it’s fresh and finely diced. I usually go for vine-ripened tomatoes but actually used baby plum tomatoes for this post.<\/p>\n I like to butter them to keep in line with the sandwich theme, but you can toast the buns dry if you’d prefer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I recommend spreading the mayo on the bun and then stacking from there. It will then work as a protective layer to the buns to prevent them from going soggy.<\/p>\n You can serve with whatever you fancy! Here I’ve gone for Onion Rings<\/a>, Wedges<\/a>, Fries<\/a> and Tortilla Chips<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more hot dog ideas check out my Chili Cheese Dogs<\/a> and Hot Dog Topping Ideas<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for these BLT Hot Dogs shall we?!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\nBacon Wrapped Hot Dogs<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
