Baconroni Hot Dogs
Meat Lover's Heaven

Baconroni Hot Dogs was the name given by my husband.  But the entire idea was from my 8-year-old.  

My little one loves pepperoni, bacon and hot dogs.  If you have been following my recipes, (BTW, thank you very much for your support), you may realize that I created several recipes by using pepperoni as main ingredient to keep my guys happy.

Baconroni Hot Dogs

Prep Time: 5-10 Minutes   Cook Time: 10-12 Minutes   Serving: 2-4



One day, I picked up my son from summer camp.  As usual, he couldn't stop talking and told me, "Mommy, I have an idea.  You can make bacon, pepperoni hot dogs." 

Honestly, I am not big on this kind of food.  And I discourage my little one from eating too much of it.  Well, I gave it a shot a week later.  Then, voila, "Baconroni" Hot Dogs were on the table.  I must say they were pretty good.  Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.

Tips

Yes, this "Baconroni" Hot Dogs recipe can be doubled.

I got a pound of bacon and use kitchen scissors to cut it in the middle to separate it into 2 halves.  I found that this method is better in getting the bacon wrapped around the hot dog more evenly.  If wrapping the dog with a whole piece of bacon is more convenient for you, please feel free to do so.

(Side note: what to do with the other half pound if not use it immediately?  As soon as separating it with the kitchen scissors, use a plastic wrap wraps it tightly and store in the fridge.  It will be good for up to 7 days.)
