Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 fresh pork bratwursts
2 12-ounce bottles lager beer
1/2 pound ground beef chuck
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
16 slices center-cut bacon
4 hot dog buns, split
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1/2 sweet onion, finely chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Put the bratwursts in a medium pot in a single layer. Pour in the beer, then add enough water to cover the bratwursts by 1 inch, if necessary. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer until the bratwursts are cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove to a plate and allow to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Gently mix with your hands and divide into 4 equal portions.
  • Lay out a piece of plastic wrap. Arrange 4 bacon slices side by side on the plastic to form a rectangle, overlapping them slightly. Position the bacon rectangle with a short end in front of you. Press a portion of the beef over the half of the bacon rectangle closest to you. Place a bratwurst horizontally on top of the beef. Using the plastic wrap to help, tightly roll the bacon and beef around the bratwurst away from you; remove the plastic wrap. Secure the bacon with kitchen twine in 3 or 4 spots. Repeat to wrap the remaining bratwursts.
  • Place the bacon-wrapped bratwursts seam-side down in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, turning, until the bacon is crisp and the beef is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove to a plate, tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Drizzle the insides of the buns with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown, about 1 minute. Use scissors to remove the twine from the bratwursts. Place on the buns and top with the chopped onion and cheese.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lb extra lean ground beef
1/4 c onions finely chopped or 1 tablespoon onion flakes
1 large egg
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/8-1/4 tsp garlic powder or one clove fresh garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional-most of my family does not like spicy!)
6-8 hot dogs
6-16 natural bacon slices (1-2 slices per b.b.dog)
1/2 c barbecue sauce (your favorite)
6-8 hot dog buns or steak rolls
cheddar cheese and/or condiments of your choice

Steps:

  • 1. Blend first 7 ingredients by kneading them together.
  • 2. Using a bit more than 1/2 cup of the beef mixture, patted into a rectangle, wrap each hot dog. Cover it completely so that it looks like a cylinder.
  • 3. Wrap bacon around the outside of the burger dog. If using thinly sliced bacon, I would recommend using two slices.
  • 4. Grill the bacon burger dogs until the beef mixture is thoroughly cooked (well done). Be careful to turn them and cook well on all sides.
  • 5. When cooked completely, brush with bbq sauce to your taste.
  • 6. Serve on buns or rolls with extra bbq sauce, a slice of cheddar cheese, or other condiments of your choosing.
  • 7. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Get high-quality ingredients: Use freshly ground beef, quality bacon, and soft hot dog buns for the best flavor.
  • Cook the bacon to your desired crispiness: Whether you like it soft or crispy, cook the bacon until it reaches your desired texture.
  • Flatten the hot dogs: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from curling up.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Try different cheeses, sauces, and toppings to create a unique and flavorful burger dog.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the burger dogs, make sure to leave enough space between them so they can cook evenly.

Conclusion:
