Directions
1Cook the bacon. The best way? In the oven - no grease splatters, easier cleanup and bacon that's evenly cooked. Preheat oven to 400°F. On a foil-covered sheet pan, bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on your desired crispiness. Dry on paper towels. Rough-chop or crumble each strip into medium-sized pieces.
2Cook your hot dogs your favorite way. We suggest pan-fried with butter!
3Assemble your dog! Nestle dog into the bun and generously spoon your tangy BBQ sauce over dog. Top with bacon pieces and a heaping amount of cheese.
