  3. How.com.vn English: Step 3 Repeat with the remaining hot dogs.
    You might need to use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place––judge this as you roll.
  4. How.com.vn English: Step 4 Heat the heavy-based skillet over low heat.
    Add the butter or oil (use sparingly, as the bacon will make more fat as it cooks). Be mindful of spattering grease.

    Sprinkle with a little brown sugar, if desired.
  6. How.com.vn English: Step 6 Fry.
    Turn over midway, when the bottom side has browned and the bacon has begun to get crisp. Fry until the bacon looks cooked. Note: You might need to drain some of the grease from the skillet at this point.
  7. How.com.vn English: Step 7 Remove skillet from the heat.
    Carefully lift out the cooked hot dogs with tongs or a spatula. Place on paper towelling to drain excess grease.
  8. How.com.vn English: Step 8 Serve with coleslaw, cheese, mustard, relish or whatever other condiments you enjoy with hotdogs.

      Tips

      • Try microwaving the bacon until cooked but not crispy. Then wrap hot dog. Secure bacon with toothpicks. The grill em'. very tasty.
      • One variation is to slit the hot dogs and stuff the inside with shredded cheese before wrapping in bacon. Medium or sharp cheddar is excellent; those with more exotic tastes might want to try smoked gouda or havarti with caraway. Note: Cheese-stuffed dogs are very messy to fry in a skillet.
      • Thick-cut smoked bacon is especially delicious, but may require more cooking time.
