Are hot dogs part of your summer menu plans?
Elevate a simple dog by stuffing it with Pineapple Salsa and wrapping it in bacon
I cooked these in the oven, for a simple supper last week, but you can definitely put them on your grill
These hot dogs only take minutes to prepare, and cooking them on a parchment lined baking sheet makes clean up a breeze
You can precook your bacon a little to ensure it gets crispy
Put dogs on a toasted bun and cover with additional salsa
Such a tasty summer meal!
BACON WRAPPED HOT DOGS WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA
Ingredients
- hot dogs 1 or 2 per person
- bacon strips 1 per hot dog
- hot dog buns
- chopped pineapple or pineapple tidbits 1/3 cup per hot dog
- sweet onion sliced, 1/4 onion per hot dog
- butter
- olive oil
Instructions
- Cook bacon partially, to render some of the fat but stop cooking when it's still pliable to wrap around hot dogs
- Saute onion in rendered bacon fat or in a little olive oil and butter over medium low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add pineapple and continue to cook on medium low for a few more minutes. Slice hot dogs in 1/2 vertically, leaving one side attached.
- Open slit in hot dog and stuffed with some of the salsa. Wrap hot dog with a slice of bacon and secure each end with a toothpick.
- Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes and check bacon for doneness. Continue to bake for 5-10 more minutes or until bacon is cooked. Time will depend on type of bacon and hot dogs used.
- Toast buns. Place one hot dog in each bun and top with more salsa.
