recipe - More Hot Dog Love - Bacon Slaw Dogs
Recipe crafted lovingly by serpico009

Ingredients

2 All-beef franks or cheese franks (Kunzler and Kessler recommended)

1 pad of butter OR low-fat olive oil spray

Pepper

2 slices bacon (pepper, thick cut, chef's preference)

2 spoonfuls creamy cole slaw (try the farmer's market)

2 slices American cheese (optional)

2 hot dog buns (potato or otherwise)

Instructions

Coat a skillet with either the butter or olive oil spray and set just below medium heat on the stove. After slitting lengthwise with a knife, wrap each hot dog with a strip of bacon, securing with a toothpick. Place in the skillet once it's hot, add pepper to taste, and monitor the dogs for the next 10-12 minutes, turning as needed. The bacon is going to take longer than the hot dogs; you can pre-cook the bacon or stick in the microwave to hurry it along, but hot dog-wrapping becomes a problem. When the bacon dogs look close to being done, sprinkle them with a little water and cover immediately for a minute or two.

After dragging the cheese slices across the pan to melt them a bit (and pick up some yummy grease flavor), place them in the hot dog buns, then remove your dogs from the pan and slap 'em on the bun. Coat with a healthy spoonful of cole slaw and ENJOY! (Optional: Add some yellow mustard before the slaw).

Goes great with Bar-B-Que chips and a Coke. Thanks for posting the other hot dog recipe, it got my mouth watering at work
