Gutter Dogs
I know what you're thinking .... "what the heck is a gutter dog?" That my friends, is a good question! I really had no idea what to call this creation ... For some reason, it reminds me of bar food - although I'm not really sure what they serve in bars besides alcohol?! I really have no idea?! I wasn't in a bar when I made these - so I guess that theory doesn't really work?!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package hot dogs 16 oz.
- 8 slices bacon one piece for each hot dog
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 small green pepper seeded and chopped
- 2 - 3 cloves garlic minced
- 8 - 10 hot dog buns toasted if desired
- Desired condiments - ketchup mustard and/or mayo (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat grill.
- Wrap each hot dog in a slice of bacon, overlapping slightly. Secure the loose end with a toothpick. Grill, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the hot dog is heated through.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet. Saute the onion and green pepper for 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook until the onions and peppers are soft. Remove from heat.
- To serve, remove the toothpick from the hot dog. Place a hot dog in a bun and top with the onion and green pepper mixture. Serve with ketchup, mustard and mayo sauce if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to use your favorite brand of hot dog and try out different types of bacon.
