BBQ Bacon Cheddar Dogs

June 25, 2013 · by Ari ·

BBQ Bacon Cheddar Dogs

I’ve developed this kind of ridiculous hot dog obsession. Kinda like the hamburger one, but ya know, with hot dogs. A couple of weeks ago after the 3rd consecutive hot dog recipe, Hermano asked when the heck I decided I liked hot dogs so much.

The truth is, I’ve always been a fan, but unless it was an enormous Cost Co hot dog, it just never seemed like a full meal to me, and I always wanted a hamburger to go with it. BBQ Bacon Cheddar Dogs

So I decided to make a hot dog that sounds sinful and over the top, but is really healthy enough to eat 2, or eat 1 with a big ol’ side of veggies which is more my style these days.

BBQ Bacon Cheddar Dogs

The low fat beef hot dogs combined with the center cut bacon add healthy meat options that are full of flavor. The  sweet barbecue sauce and roasted corn pair perfectly with the salty dog, and then everything is better with cheddar cheese. It’s like a fact. These babies are perfect for 4th of July, any summer cookout, or any time you feel like firing up the grill!

    I still can’t handle BBQs where there are hot dogs AND hamburgers. Snaps to you for bulking up the hotdog to fill you up. #nowillpower

      I mean, I will always want one of each. You know us. 😉

    Those look good! I would use turkey hot dogs and turkey bacon. Mike and I like to make different hot dogs, we’ve put coleslaw on them before, and they are so easy to grill in the summer!
