Carnivore BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Cheddar Hot Dogs
Ingredients:
-
4 beef or pork hot dogs (choose high-quality ones with no fillers, sugar, or grains)
-
8 slices of bacon (preferably sugar-free)
-
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (optional, for those on the carnivore diet who tolerate dairy)
-
Salt and pepper (optional, depending on your taste preferences)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Grill:
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
-
-
Wrap the Hot Dogs:
-
Lay the bacon slices flat and wrap two slices of bacon around each hot dog, ensuring it’s snug. If the bacon slices are too long, you can cut them in half.
-
-
Grill the Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dogs:
-
Place the bacon-wrapped hot dogs on the grill, turning them frequently to cook evenly. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the hot dogs are heated through.
-
-
Add the Cheese (Optional):
-
Once the bacon is crispy, you can add a small handful of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each hot dog (if you’re okay with dairy on the carnivore diet). Let it melt slightly on the grill for an additional 2-3 minutes.
-
-
Serve:
-
Serve the hot dogs as they are or with additional toppings like more melted cheese or even more bacon if you want extra decadence.
-
Make Sure the Hot Dogs Are Carnivore-Friendly:
-
Look for all-beef, pork, or other meat hot dogs with minimal ingredients. Some brands add starches or fillers, so make sure the label is free of any non-animal ingredients.
-
If you can find sugar-free bacon and cheddar cheese that is free of additives, you’re good to go.
Pro Tip: You can skip the cheese altogether if you’re on a strict carnivore diet and just enjoy the bacon-wrapped hot dog with some extra seasoning if desired.
This recipe is carnivore-approved as long as you’re mindful of the ingredients, especially the hot dogs and bacon. Enjoy your delicious BBQ meal! 🍖🔥
