This recipe features the All-American hot dog, wraps it with bacon, loads it up with traditional BLT toppings (bacon, lettuce, tomato), and piles it all into a soft, toasty roll. These bacon dogs have the perfect juicy snap and the most delicious flavor! Can be cooked in the oven or grill.

These seriously delicious hot dogs deserve a starring role on your 4th of July table. The reason they stand out so much isn’t just the bacon (although, hello, bacon makes everything better!). It’s the high-quality ingredients I used.
Don’t skimp and use cheap ingredients, even if you are making something as simple as hot dogs. Spend the extra couple bucks and purchase the good dogs. It’ll make a huge difference flavor-wise.
