Storage

To store jalapeno popper hot dogs, you should first let them cool down to room temperature. Then, you can wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in an airtight container.

Alternatively, you can place them in a resealable plastic bag and remove as much air as possible before sealing it. Store the hot dogs in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

If you want to store them for longer, you can freeze them for up to 2-3 months. When you’re ready to eat them, simply reheat them in the microwave or oven until they’re heated through.

Top tip

One of the best tips for making bacon-wrapped hot dogs is to use toothpicks to keep the bacon in place. Just be sure to remove the toothpicks before serving the hot dogs.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 Hotdogs
  • 8 Slices of Bacon
  • 1 Cup Jalapeno Popper Dip

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a baking rack over the baking sheet.
  • Split the hotdogs lengthwise (do not cut all the way through). Fill the hotdogs with about two tablespoons of the jalapeno popper dip. Wrap one slice of bacon around each hotdog and secure the bacon with a few toothpicks.
  • Place the hotdogs on the rack and back until the bacon is crispy. About 15-20 minutes.

Notes

  • We used all beef hotdogs, but you can use any brand you like or have on hand.
  • You want to use the baking rack so the bacon will crisp on all sides. 
  • You don’t want to over-stuff the hotdogs.
  • These can be made in advance up to step 2 and refrigerate. Then when ready, pop in the oven and enjoy. 
  • I used four toothpicks to make sure the bacon was secure. This also helped keep the filling inside.
