Bacon Wrapped Cheesy Hot Dogs

Bring the flavor to your next cookout with these Bacon Wrapped (chicken, beef, or turkey) Hot Dogs.

Ingredients

Kraft Thick'n Spicy BBQ sauce or replace with a BBQ sauce your family enjoys.
Hot Dogs (Chicken, Beef, or Turkey):
8 good quality hot dogs (I used Ball Park Angus Beef Bun Sized Franks)
2 oz sharp cheddar cheese sliced and then cut into thin strips
16 slices of precooked bacon (I used Jimmy Dean fully cooked hickory smoke bacon)
¼ cup butter melted
8 hot dog buns

Directions

Pour Kraft Thick'n Spicy BBQ sauce into a small bowl.

Cut a pocket lengthwise in each hot dog.

Fill the pockets of each hot dog with a couple of the strips of cheese.

Wrap each hot dog with 2 slice of the bacon, using toothpicks to secure the bacon on the hot dogs.

Place on the grill cheese side up and cook over medium low heat until the cheese in is nice and melted.

While the hot dogs cook, brush inside of the buns with melted butter and place butter side down on the grill. 

Grill until toasted and golden brown.

When hot dogs are fully cooked remove from the grill and remove the toothpick. Serve on the toasted buns along the the sauce you prepared earlier.

Ingredients

1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water

1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup cider vinegar or wine vinegar
1/4 cup mild-flavored molasses
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 cloves garlic, minced

Gyro Burgers

Tonight, turn traditional cookout cuisine on its head with this AWESOME Mediterranean-style Gyro Burgers topped with Cucumber Tzatziki Sauce.

INGREDIENTS

Gyro Burgers

1 pound ground lamb*
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 white onion, finely chopped or grated
1 1/2 teaspoons dried marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 red onion, sliced for garnish
1 tomato, sliced for garnish
2 cups lettuce, shredded for garnish
4 pitas, halved


Tip: We love the bold, earthy flavor of dried herbs in this recipe, but you can use fresh versions of rosemary and marjoram, too. Since dried herbs are stronger, use 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs as a substitute for 1 teaspoon of dried.

DIRECTIONS

In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the lamb, garlic, onion, marjoram and rosemary with clean hands.

Shape the meat into 4 evenly sized patties. 

Season both sides with salt and pepper. 

Grill over medium high heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until a meat thermometer registers 160°F.

Place each patty in a halved pita. Garnish with onion, tomato, lettuce and Cucumber Tzatziki Sauce, then serve.

Tip: For perfectly even patties, pat your meat into the bottom of the bowl, then score it into four quadrants with the side of your hand.
