Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Bacon
Start by wrapping each hot dog with a slice of bacon. Secure the bacon with toothpicks if needed. Then, cook the bacon-wrapped hot dogs in a pan over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and golden. Alternatively, you can grill them for extra flavor.
Step 2: Toast the Buns
While the hot dogs cook, toast the buns lightly in the oven or on the grill. This will help to give them a crispy texture and prevent them from getting soggy when the hot dog is added.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup, and pickle relish. Stir until smooth. This sauce will bring a creamy and tangy kick to your hot dogs.
Step 4: Assemble the Hot Dogs
Once the bacon-wrapped hot dogs are cooked, remove the toothpicks and place each hot dog inside a toasted bun. Drizzle the creamy sauce generously on top of the hot dogs.
Step 5: Add Toppings
Top your hot dogs with fresh shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and finely chopped onions. If desired, add a slice of cheese and garnish with fresh parsley. A sprinkle of salt and pepper will enhance the flavors.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve your San Francisco-style hot dogs right away with a side of crispy fries or a refreshing salad.
Tips & Tricks
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings. For extra creaminess, add sliced avocado, or if you like a spicy kick, try adding jalapeños. Sautéed mushrooms are another great option if you’re looking for a richer flavor.
- Grilling the Hot Dogs: Grilling your bacon-wrapped hot dogs instead of pan-frying them gives a delicious smoky flavor that’s hard to beat.
- Healthier Options: For a healthier version, try using turkey bacon instead of regular bacon, or opt for a turkey or veggie dog to reduce calories.
Feel free to add or remove ingredients according to your taste.
