When it comes to cookouts or ball games, hot dogs are an American classic that we all know and love. And they’re pretty much perfect just the way they are… but it’s always good to try something new once in a while. With these Bacon-Wrapped Pickle Stuffed Hot Dogs, you can really up your dog game and impress your guests. They’re crunchy on the outside and have the juicy and tart bite of pickle and a whole lot of ooey-gooey cheesiness going on inside. It’s a must try.
You can make these in your oven or on the grill, which means they’re a great fit any time of year. If you’re baking them, it helps to put them on a wire rack so that the bacon gets nice and crispy. You can still top these with all your favorite hot dog toppings: chopped onions, ketchup, mustard, maybe even a little hot sauce. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 12 slices bacon
