If you’re on the lookout for a hot dog recipe that stands out from the rest, look no further. I’m excited to share with you a delightful twist on the classic hot dog: Pineapple Jalapeno Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs. This hot dog recipe is bursting with flavors, combining the sweetness of pineapple, the heat of jalapenos, and the smoky goodness of bacon. Trust me, this dish is a crowd-pleaser and a surefire way to impress your friends and family at your next cookout. Let’s dive into the details of this mouthwatering creation.
Let’s Prep:
Before we get to the cooking part, we need to do some prepping. The key to a great hot dog recipe lies in the preparation, and this one is no different. First, gather all your ingredients. You’ll need:
- 2 hot dogs (I prefer bun length hot dogs for this recipe)
- 2 slices of bacon
- 1/3 cup of diced jalapenos
- 1/3 cup of diced red onion
- 1 cup of crushed or finely chopped pineapple
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- Queen Bee Honey BBQ Seasoning (discount link)
- Hot dog buns (King’s Hawaiian Hot dog buns are my go-to for their flavor and soft texture)
- Sriracha mayo (optional, but highly recommended for an extra kick)
First, preheat your smoker or grill to 400°F. While the grill is heating up, let’s prep our hot dogs. Start by wrapping each hot dog in a slice of bacon. Make sure the ends of the bacon are on the bottom of the hot dog to keep them from unraveling. This step ensures that the bacon stays intact while cooking and delivers that crispy, smoky goodness we all love.
Next, coat each bacon-wrapped hot dog liberally in Queen Bee Honey BBQ Seasoning. This seasoning adds a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the pineapple and jalapeno relish perfectly.
Let’s Cook:
The best hot dog recipe yet!
Now that our hot dogs are prepped and our grill is ready, it’s time to cook these bad boys. Place the bacon-wrapped hot dogs on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them to make sure the bacon is cooked through but not burning. You want that perfect balance of crispy bacon without any charred bits.
While the hot dogs are sizzling on the grill, let’s prepare the pineapple jalapeno relish. In a bowl, combine the diced jalapenos, diced red onion, and crushed pineapple. Add in the salt and black pepper, then mix everything well. This relish is a delightful blend of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors, making it the star condiment of this hot dog recipe.
Once the hot dogs are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill. It’s time to assemble our Pineapple Jalapeno Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs.
Let’s Eat:
Grab your hot dog buns. While you can use any hot dog buns you like, I highly recommend King’s Hawaiian Hot dog buns. They add a level of flavor and soft texture that complements the bacon-wrapped hot dogs perfectly. Place each hot dog in a bun and top generously with the pineapple jalapeno relish. The relish adds a refreshing burst of flavor with every bite, balancing out the richness of the bacon and the heat of the jalapenos.
For an extra layer of flavor, drizzle some sriracha mayo over the top. This condiment adds a creamy, spicy kick that takes this hot dog recipe to the next level. Of course, you can omit the sriracha mayo if you prefer or use any condiments you like. That’s the beauty of this hot dog recipe—it’s versatile and can be customized to suit your taste.
Now, serve these Pineapple Jalapeno Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs hot and watch them disappear in no time. They are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a summer BBQ, a casual get-together, or just a fun family dinner.
