Ingredients

Scale

Serves 6

  • For the bacon dogs:
    • 6 hot dogs
    • 6 slices of bacon
    • 6 hot dog buns
    • 1/4 cup (60 ml) barbecue sauce
  • For the bourbon-glazed onions:
    • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup (60 ml) bourbon
    • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings:
    • Shredded cheddar cheese
    • Crispy fried onions
    • Pickled jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bourbon-glazed onions:
    • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
    • Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
    • Stir in the brown sugar and bourbon. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
    • Add the balsamic vinegar and season with salt and black pepper. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Cook the bacon-wrapped hot dogs:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a grill.
    • Wrap each hot dog with a slice of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if needed.
    • Place the bacon-wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with foil or on the grill.
    • Bake or grill for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the hot dogs are heated through.
  3. Toast the buns:
    • Lightly toast the hot dog buns in the oven, on the grill, or in a skillet.
  4. Assemble the bacon dogs:
    • Place each bacon-wrapped hot dog in a toasted bun. Drizzle with barbecue sauce.
    • Top generously with the bourbon-glazed onions.
  5. Add optional toppings:
    • Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, crispy fried onions, or pickled jalapeños if desired.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the bacon dogs hot with your favorite sides like coleslaw or fries.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, use a spicy barbecue sauce or add a dash of hot sauce to the onions.
  • Use turkey bacon or plant-based hot dogs for a lighter or vegetarian option.
  • Leftover bourbon-glazed onions can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
