Ingredients
Makes: 6 Burger Dogs
2 to 3 poundsground hamburger
6all-beef hot dogs
12 slicesbacon
6hero, grinder, or sub rolls (hot dog rolls are too small)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Fill a pot with water and boil hot dogs according to package directions on stove. After fully cooked remove from water and let cool down for 5 minutes.
2.
While hot dogs are cooking saute the onions and mushrooms in butter in a pan.
3.
On a sheet of plastic wrap, flatten the ground hamburger meat to about a 1/4 inch thick rectangle patty and sprinkle with Hamburger Seasoning.
4.
Next, lay one all beef hot dog in the center (I prefer Organic All beef uncured hot dogs). Next spoon sauteed onions and mushrooms on top of hot dog. (sometimes it is hard to get the ground beef patty to wrap around the onions and mushrooms so you might want to wait and just put it on top of the bacon cheeseburger dog once it is cook instead of putting it inside)
5.
Next, using the plastic wrap; wrap the rectangle hamburger patty around the hot dog. Pulling the plastic wrap away from the meat as you wrap. Making sure to seal the burger patty completely around the hot dog so that the onions and mushrooms don't come out the sides.
6.
Next wrap two slices of bacon around each of your burger dogs.
7.
Then line a cookie sheet with tin foil and spray with pam or some other cooking spray. Then place the burger dogs on the lined cookie sheet and cook in the oven at 450 degrees for 25 minutes for well done burger dogs, for rare burger dogs 15 minutes, for medium burger dogs 20 minutes. The last 5 minutes before they are finished cooking pull out of oven and put two slices of cheese on top of each burger dog then put back in oven to finish cooking.
8.
When done cooking place in sub roll and enjoy! Top with condiments of your choice i.e. ketchup, relish, mayonnaise, mustard, pickles. lettuce etc. (anything you would put on a burger or a dog!) A great addition to this meal is my loaded waffle fries (check my other recipes), and a milkshake! Makes a great hardy filling man meal!
Something else.
It was a bit tricky to get the burger wrapped around the dogs and the onion/mushroom mixture. Next time I think I will dice them up and mix them into the hamburger meat.
I made this recipe for my son this weekend as a reward for bringing up his grades, it will now be known in our house as "The Honor Roll"! They were awesome!
