#2 BACON WRAPPED HOT DOGS - Henry West

Crock pot Bacon wrapped hot dogs Prep time 30 mins Cook time 4-5 hrs (varies by crock pot) Ingredients: 2 packs of hot dogs 1 lb bacon 2 lb light brown sugar 1 crock pot liner (recommended) Toothpicks Cut the hot dogs into 1/3's and roll the bacon around the hot dog piece. Cut the bacon leaving about a half inch overlapping the bacon and secure by running a toothpick all the way through at the bacon overlap. Depending on the size of the hot dogs the bacon might need to be stretched to wrap all the hot dogs. Repeat until all the hot dogs are wrapped. I typically do this the day before and store in a container in the fridge. To give time for the bacon to cook in the crock pot, start cooking about 4-5 hours before game time. Place half the bacon wrapped hot dogs in the crock pot and top with half the brown sugar. Place the remaining bacon wrapped hot dogs in the crock pot and top with the remaining brown sugar and turn the crock pot on HIGH. After cooking for 2-3 hours occasionally stir/rotate the bacon wrapped hot dogs on the bottom with ones on the top to give all the bacon wrapped hot dogs time in the sugar, that should be starting to melt. After 1 hour later the bacon should be done and ready to dip out and serve. The longer they are in the melted sugar the better they will be. The crock pot liner is very handy with clean up as the melted sugar holds it's heat very well and could burn hands, or it could be like syrup if left to cool too long.
