Description

YES! Bacon wrapped around a hot dog, deep fried and smothered with chili! Oh, sooooo good! YES Bacon makes everything taste better, are you kidding me? So anyway, this is very easy to make and everyone will enjoy them. Well, unless you don't like pork, or bacon but other than that, everyone will enjoy them ;)

Ingredients:

8 Hot dogs - 1 package (your favorite kind)
8 Slices of bacon (again, your favorite kind)
8 Hot dog buns - 1 package (your favorite kind. We like potato bread buns)
1 Medium onion diced
1 Tomato diced
2 10oz cans of chili (your favorite kind, we prefer beanless for chili dogs) Or use 2.5 cups of home made chili
1 Cup shredded cheese

Directions:

These directions involve deep frying however you can certainly cook them on your grill or oven. I also didn't use a deep fryer, I used my iron skillet with a half inch of canola oil.

Take one hot dog and wrap 1 strip of bacon around it covering the entire hot dog
Insert a toothpick at each end to hold bacon in place. Continue until all 8 hot dogs are wrapped in bacon
Heat oil to 225-250 degrees in an iron skillet or your frying pan
Heat your chili in a sauce pan or microwave safe dish
Carefully add 1-4 bacon wrapped hot dogs into your hot oil
Fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute (Depending on how hot your oil is. Keep a close eye to prevent over frying)
Turn bacon wrapped hot dogs and fry another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Remove and place on a plate with paper towels
Continue frying until all 8 bacon wrapped hot dogs are cooked.
Place 1 bacon wrapped hot dog in your hot dog bun, smother with chili add shredded cheese, onions, tomatoes and enjoy!
