01
Step 1
Start by heating your grill to medium-high and give the grate a quick brush with some oil to keep things from sticking. While the grill’s warming up, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s nicely browned and crispy. Once done, drain it on some paper towels to soak up the extra grease.

Step 2
Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook them for about 5 to 8 minutes, turning once or twice so they get a nice, even color and are cooked just how you like. Don’t forget to toss the buns on the grill for a minute or so to get them lightly toasted.

Step 3
To put everything together, lay a slice of cheese and a few pieces of that crispy bacon inside each bun. Pop in the hot dog, then drizzle with a tablespoon of barbecue sauce (or more if you’re feeling saucy), and sprinkle on some red onion. Serve and enjoy!
