Ingredients
Instructions
- Wrap each hot dog with a small piece of bacon.
- Place the wrapped hot dogs in a slightly greased pan.
- Sprinkle with brown sugar and add about 4 tablespoons of water, more if needed.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes.
- They are done when bubbling and the bacon is cooked.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider using flavored bacon or adding a sprinkle of your favorite spices like paprika or garlic powder before baking. If you prefer a healthier option, turkey bacon can be substituted for regular bacon. Adjust the water to ensure the bacon crisps up nicely without becoming soggy. This recipe is also versatile enough to pair with sides like the Farmer'S Breakfast(We Use For Saturday Night Supper).
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful wrap ups as an appetizer at parties or game day gatherings. They pair wonderfully with dipping sauces like mustard or barbecue sauce. To create a full meal, serve alongside a fresh salad or classic sides like coleslaw. These also make a great addition to a spread featuring dishes like Goo-Losh or Bean And Bacon Casserole.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Hot Dog Wrap Ups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. For a quick option, they can also be microwaved, but the oven will help maintain the crispiness of the bacon.
