Ingredients
8 slices bacon, diced
8 natural casing beef hot dogs
8 hamburger buns
1 cup baby lettuce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 large vine ripened tomatoes, seeded and chopped
Directions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.
Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Working in batches if needed, add the beef hot dogs and cook for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through and lightly browned on the surface.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns in the skillet or on a separate griddle for about 1 minute per side until they are warm and lightly golden.
Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the inside of each toasted bun.
Layer fresh baby lettuce inside each bun, followed by the cooked hot dog.
Top each hot dog with a portion of the chopped tomato and a generous handful of the crispy bacon.
Serve immediately while the hot dogs are still warm and enjoy.
Comments
A straightforward weeknight win that any Charlotte grocer stocks completely: bacon, hot dogs, buns, lettuce, mayo, and tomatoes are standard finds at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, and ALDI without hunting. The 25-minute claim is honest for bacon crisping and toasting, though expect 5 minutes longer if you're slicing tomatoes fresh. Cost sits around $2 to $2.50 per serving depending on bacon quality, which is competitive for a casual dinner. This is a same-night dish that doesn't reheat well, so portion for your table and serve immediately; it works best for families comfortable with classic American sandwich fare rather than something that needs to impress or adapt to varied tastes.
