700. BACON SLAW DOGS

butter or olive oil spray
hot dog
bacon
pepper
cheese
cole slaw
mustard (optional)

Coat a skillet with either the butter or olive oil spray and set just below medium heat on the stove. After slitting lengthwise with a knife, wrap each hot dog with a strip of bacon, securing with a toothpick. Place in the skillet once it's hot, add pepper to taste, and monitor the dogs for the next 10-12 minutes, turning as needed. The bacon is going to take longer than the hot dogs; you can pre-cook the bacon or stick in the microwave to hurry it along, but hot dog-wrapping becomes a problem. When the bacon dogs look close to being done, sprinkle them with a little water and cover immediately for a minute or two.

After dragging the cheese slices across the pan to melt them a bit (and pick up some yummy grease flavor), place them in the hot dog buns, then remove your dogs from the pan and slap 'em on the bun. Coat with a healthy spoonful of cole slaw and ENJOY!
