Description

I have been craving corn dogs, and as much as my kids love them, I wanted to put my take on them, hence the bacon wrapped corn dog. Simple to make, and a great surprise inside.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices Your Favorite Bacon
  • 1-¼ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 4 Tablespoons White Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ cups Fine Yellow Cornmeal
  • 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
  • ¾ cups Buttermilk
  • 1 Tablespoon Favorite Hot Sauce
  • 8 whole Johnsonville Wieners, Patted Dry (use Your Favorite Wiener)
  • 8 whole Skewers
  • 5 cups Canola Oil, For Frying

Preparation

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees (F). Lay the slices of bacon on a baking sheet, lined with foil, and place in the preheated oven, cooking for 15 minutes. The goal is to not crisp the bacon, but bring it pretty darn close to being cooked. Once cooked, remove, and pat dry with paper towel.

While the bacon is cooking, add everything but the hot dogs, skewers and the frying oil to a mixing bowl, and do just that, mix into a nice batter.

When you are ready to go, make sure you pat dry the wieners. Straighten each hot dog out with your hand, and insert the skewer through the wiener, moving it all the way up, leaving enough to hold while you eat it. Repeat.

Preheat your oil on the stove. The goal is to reach a 375 degree pot of oil. Do a test by dropping a small pinch of bread into the oil. If it comes to a nice sizzle you should be good to go.

Wrap the bacon around each wiener, securing the best way you can. If you need to move a toothpick through it, go ahead. Just remove the toothpick when the dog is cooked.

Add the bacon wrapped wiener to the bowl of batter, spinning it around until the entire wiener is coated. Keep spinning it, then carefully drop it into the oil. Repeat, dropping about 2-3 dogs into each batch of oil.

These will cook up rather fast, and you are only looking at about a 4-6 minute cook time. Cook until a golden brown, then remove, and place on a paper lined strainer. Repeat until all of the wieners are cooked.

Plate with your favorite sauce. Dip and bite. Repeat.

Biting into this corn dog definitely yields a great surprise for anyone you serve it to. My son’s look on his face when he hit the bacon was worth a million dollars. His eyes lit up, and a huge smile came on his face. That alone made these worth making again, and again, and again.

Hope you enjoy.

Made these, injected the hotdogs with yellow mustard and waited to skewer after they were finished. Best idea ever, don’t even need to dip them.
