Ingredients

  • 1 package of 8 hot dogs
  • 8 slices raw bacon regular or thick-cut
  • 4 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 8 Hotdog buns optional
  • 16 Toothpicks
  • 8 roasting skewers for grilling or if cooking over campfire use roasting sticks

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Spread about 1/2 tsp dijon mustard evenly on one side of each slice of raw bacon.
  2. Wrap each piece of bacon around a hot dog, Dijon side touching inside/against the hotdog spiraling it around the hot dog to the other end. Secure each end with a toothpick skewered all the way through the bacon and the hot dog.
  3. Repeat until all the hot dogs are bacon wrapped and secured.
  4. Trim toothpicks of sharp edges if desired, leaving a little bit showing so you remember they are there after cooking and remove.
Make it Now
    Cup of Yum
  1. Place each hotdog onto a skewer if grilling. If using wood skewers, soak in water 6-12 hours first.
  2. Preheat your grill to low heat. Or if using coals, light them and wait about 10 minutes until they are ready for heating. Make sure you are not too close to the heat, you want to cook them low and slow to avoid burning the bacon.
  3. Place your hot dogs on a lightly greased, hot grill and cook, turning often until bacon is cooked chewy or crispy, about 10 minutes. Bacon grease will drip causing fires so watch them carefully and turn often.
Make Ahead & Freeze
  1. Flash freeze your bacon wrapped dogs by placing in freezer on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  2. Freeze one hour or until frozen solid, then transfer to a gallon sized freeze safe bag, being careful not to let the toothpicks poke holes in bag.
  3. Seal and freeze.
Thaw & Cook
  1. Place frozen hot dogs into refrigerator to thaw for 8-24 hours.
  2. Follow directions above for make it now.
Cook over the Campfire
  1. Your campfire should have been going for a while so that you have a nice 1-2 inch layer of hot & ready white coals.
  2. If you are using briquettes, light them and wait about 10 minutes until they are not flaming and starting to turn white.
  3. For best results use a lightly greased grate over the coals about 2 - 4 inches above them.
  4. Place your hot dogs on the hot grill and cook, turning often until bacon is cooked chewy or crispy, about 10 minutes.
  5. Bacon grease will drip causing fires so watch them carefully and turn often to avoid burning.
  6. If using over an open flame or campfire, put bacon wrapped dogs on roasting sticks and cook, turning often until bacon is cooked, about 7-8 minutes.

Notes

  • Eating them at home: Place frozen hot dogs into refrigerator to thaw for 8-24 hours. 
  • Taking them camping: Add them to a a cooler with a bag of ice, and you’ll be ready to go by dinner.
  • These hot dogs can be stored in the freezer for about 4-6 months.
  • Store hot dogs on skewers in freezer bags. Be very careful not to puncture bag though!
  • If you are using wood skewers, soak in water 6-12 hours first. Trust me, they will catch fire if you don’t!!
