My kids loved watching "The Cosby Show" episodes years ago. My son wanted to try Cliff and Theo Huxtable's Bacon Burger Dogs. I came up with these. Just a fun food for our family! [To improve the healthfulness, I used natural, lean meat products, and served it with Roasted Kale Chips and mixed fresh berries. The kids prefer beef hot dogs and no kale chips.:)]

Ingredients For bacon burger dogs

  • 2 lb
    extra lean ground beef

    onions finely chopped or 1 tablespoon onion flakes
  • 1
    large egg
  • 1 Tbsp
    worcestershire sauce
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp
    garlic powder or one clove fresh garlic
  • 1/4 tsp
    salt
  • 1/4 tsp
    black pepper
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp
    cayenne pepper (optional-most of my family does not like spicy!)
  • 6-8
    hot dogs
  • 6-16
    natural bacon slices (1-2 slices per b.b.dog)
  • 1/2 c
    barbecue sauce (your favorite)

How To Make bacon burger dogs

  • 1
    Blend first 7 ingredients by kneading them together.
  • 2
    Using a bit more than 1/2 cup of the beef mixture, patted into a rectangle, wrap each hot dog. Cover it completely so that it looks like a cylinder.
  • 3
    Wrap bacon around the outside of the burger dog. If using thinly sliced bacon, I would recommend using two slices.
  • 4
    Grill the bacon burger dogs until the beef mixture is thoroughly cooked (well done). Be careful to turn them and cook well on all sides.
  • 5
    When cooked completely, brush with bbq sauce to your taste.
  • 6
    Serve on buns or rolls with extra bbq sauce, a slice of cheddar cheese, or other condiments of your choosing.
  • 7
    Enjoy!
