Super Bacon Dogs For The Holiday

September 4, 2010 By Jay Brooks 5 Comments

To celebrate International Bacon Day I modified a decadent comfort food my wife came up with a few weeks ago. She takes a hot dog and slices it down the middle, filling it with cheese. Then it’s wrapped in a Pillsbury crescent roll and baked in the oven. I call them “super dogs” for no particular reason other than it rolls off the tongue nicely. Today I added a slice of bacon to each one to make “super bacon dogs.” I ate five of them, boy were they tasty.

Afterward, my wife Sarah had a special bacon treat for dessert.

Chocolate-covered bacon on a stick, which a friend of my wife’s from work discovered at our local candy shop (thanks Brian). They come in both milk chocolate and dark chocolate.

    Pork products on a stick? That’s my kind of meal! I expect to see some of these delectable goodies the next time I visit!

    Cheers,

    Ashley

    @Ashely – You’re crazy you know that! For some reason, I can totally see you enjoying an entire meal of pork on a stick! Sad truth is…I too would join you! Anything pork…much less pork on a stick…PLUS pork on a stick with chocolate = a watering mouth and many visuals 😉

    You ate 5 of those things and lived to write about it. Congrats on your Lotto winning gene pool.

      Ha, thanks. I’m afraid if I stop eating fried foods and others that are bad for me, my body will seize up in revolt.

    I love bacon & DARK chocolate, but overly salty bacon would ruin the chocolate – if those stix use the low-sodium variety, however, I’d be willing to give them a shot. As for the super-dog, a great idea, but I’d do it with GOOD sausage (partially cooked to remove some of the grease) – everyday hotodgs are on my “unfit for human consumption” list. Did you ever read Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” (early 1900’s novel about meat-packing plants)?

    Jay – may your fat tolerance genes last you a long time! Excess grease often has given me temporary “Montezuma’s Revenge” since is was 45 (I’m 61; my late dad got acid reflux from excess grease same age or earlier).
