How do you make a hot dog taste even better? Wrap it in some bacon of course! This bacon wrapped hot dog is the best hot dog you will ever eat. Pick a good quality bun and toast that on the grill for a bit. Wrap some bacon around the hot dog and tada! . Your neighbors will be so jealous of all the glorious smells coming from your backyard, they will start knocking on your door.
The past couple of days, I’ve had a hankering for some good old American Hot Dogs. Since tomorrow is the 4th, there will be plenty of people cooking hot dogs on the grill. One of my favorite hot dog brands is Hebrew National. They make a 97% fat free hot dog for only 1 smart point. Pair that with a lite hot dog bun that is 2 smart points and you can make some pretty creative hot dogs. I kept my hot dog simple and wrapped it in some bacon.
Some sides to have with hotdogs that I like are grilled potatoes, corn, potato chips, and watermelon. I love Summer food it is the best.
