A Little Labor Day Trivia

International Bacon Day falls on the Saturday before Labor Day every year. This unofficial (but recommended) celebration of meat is best celebrated via bacon-themed meals, desserts, and even drinks. The holiday’s motto: “Bacon is a vegetable.”

BACON WRAPPED - CHEESE STUFFED HOT DOGS

INGREDIENTS

8 large hot dogs8 large hot dogs
4 ounces cheddar cheese, sliced into thin sticks4 ounces cheddar cheese, sliced into thin sticks
8 to 12 slices bacon (1 to 1 1/2 slices per hot dog)8 to 12 slices bacon (1 to 1 1/2 slices per hot dog)
Toothpicks (about 3 per hot dog, pre-soaked in water)Toothpicks (about 3 per hot dog, pre-soaked in water)

INSTRUCTIONS

For each hot dog, cut a lengthwise slit about 3/4 of the way through, leaving the ends intact. Stuff the cheese tightly inside.
Using a toothpick, secure a strip of bacon at one end of the hot dog and start wrapping, keeping the bacon snug but avoiding overlapping. If you run out of bacon before you get to the end of the hot dog, continue your wrapping with another half strip.
Secure bacon with toothpicks in the center and at the end of the hot dog.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Place hot dogs over indirect heat and grill first side for 4 minutes or until bacon is crispy and cooked through on that side. Rotate hot dogs a quarter of a turn and repeat. Continue until all four sides of each bacon-covered hot dog are cooked.
Remove toothpicks and serve hot dogs on toasted buns with desired condiments.

Notes
Soaking your toothpicks in water ahead of time will prevent them from catching on fire.
Use fairly thin-sliced bacon in order to ensure that your bacon cooks all the way through.

Steak Temperature Guide

Cooking times and temperatures may vary with method of preparation, size and shape of the and your desired degree of doneness. Test for doneness using a meat thermometer or instant-read thermometer.

Insert thermometer through side of cut, tip in the center, not touching bone or fat.

Rest your steaks. Temperature will continue to rise.
