Bacon Burger Dogs were discussed at length on "The Cosby Show" in the 80's. While we never saw Cliff and Theo Huxtable eating Bacon Burger Dogs, the concept was so impressive we have come up with our own version. You may want to consult your cardiologist or have a defibulator device on hand for this one.
Time Required: For prep, it takes a while the first time you make them; allow an hour for 15 BBD's. After that you get the hang of it. Cooking time is 20-20 minutes.
Ingredients:
- About 6-8 ounces of ground beef per Bacon Burger Dog (BBD)
- One top-notch hot dog per BBD; use long-and-narrow dogs, not the shorter and plumper variety
- Two strips of bacon per BBD
- Sub/hoagie roll
- Ketchup and/or mustard; this is up for debate and depends on personal preference. While hot dogs generally call for mustard-only, and hamburgers ketchup-only, many feel that the BBD can handle both. Many also feel the BBD requires no condiments or possibly only chili or chopped onions. Please excuse me for rambling, but this important topic deserves our time and consideration.
- Grab a handful of ground beef and spread it out flat in the shape of a square that is not as long as your hot dogs; you want about 6-8 ounces per BBD
- Place a hot dog on the beef and roll it up
- Press the beef together so the hot dog is wrapped up; the ends of the dog should stick out
- Wrap the burger/dog combo in two strips of bacon, so that the bacon runs diagonally around the Burger Dog
- Grill for 20-30 minutes over medium heat; you want the beef to cook without burning the bacon.
- Serve on a Hogie Roll
