In an effort to pair bacon with every known food to man, I concocted a bacon beef hot dog combo that is set to correlate itself with higher rates of heart attacks as well as increased happiness by those that indulge in the bacony-beefy-tastiness.

Ingredients are as follows

• Oscar Mayer (or similar) All Beef Hot Dog
• Bun (white or wheat)
• Bacon strips (2 per dog)
• Spicy Honey Mustard
• Large, uncloggable arteries

Notice the lack of ketchup–in full Chicago dog style, this hottie has no ketchup. The sodium rich red-saucy sauce has been replaced by sodium-saturated bacon. The trade off is worth it.

Directions

• After a hearty breakfast including a waffle, bacon and eggs, save a few slices of bacon for the future–place them in the fridge–nothing beats a good snack of leftover bacon even if you don’t make bacon hot dogs.
• Cook up your dogs–preferably on the grill. Boiling or microwave will suffice as well
• Scorch that bun if you’re grilling out, nothin’ beats a nicely toasted bun. Don’t forget to coat the inside (and outside if you’re so inclined) with butter. No margarine ladies. Margarine is bad for you anyways. Takes less than 1min on a hot grill
• Take your bacon slices out of the fridge and zap em in the microwave until the sizzle like when they were first panned up
• Place one slice of bacon on each side of the dog
• Lay down the line–a line of mustard, that is.
• Enjoy!

A picture for your eyes only–notice the carrots–those are a good side for those that are trying to stay healthy.
