I then took it to another level by making my hot dog Banh Mi style (Vietnamese sandwich) and added a pickled slaw, fresh cucumbers, jalapenos and some sriracha on the hot dog. Can I tell you... this was the BEST hot dog I have ever eaten in my life. It was perfect on so many levels. The bacon gave the hot dog a wonderful crunch and texture. The slaw gave a nice balance of sweetness and tang. The cucumbers gave freshness and crunch and then the jalapenos and sriracha finished it off perfectly with the spice I so love.
Thank you Good Cook for bringing this Bacon Press into my life... I am so imPRESSED!
The bacon press and the griddle I used are both cast iron. Cast iron is a fantastic piece of cookware and it is something you can own for generations. Don't let seasoning and cleaning your cast iron cookware scare you off. I simply scour with kosher salt and scrub brush. Then I put the cleaned skillet on the stove top and heat it dry and wipe it down with some canola oil. It's as simple as that. Once you start cooking with cast iron, you will always have it on your stove or close by. The Good Cook cast iron skillet rocks and pairing it up with the bacon press makes it even better. I am so excited about all the fun meals that I am going to imPRESS you with soon. :)

ReplyDeleteLove the hot dog.. very clever!
You're kidding, right? Bacon Press? It is just a meat (hamburger) press used on a bacon wrapped hotdog.
DeleteThis really looks good....Love it.

ReplyDeleteYou always had great idea in cooking,hot dog looks perfect wraped with bacon :)
ReplyDeleteMY JAW JUST DROPPED!!!!!!!!!! A Bahn Mi Hot DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, you know I don't eat meat, but I am going to make this with a vegan hot dog. And when I do, I'm going to dedicate it to you! GENIUS! My friend!
ReplyDeleteI'm still hoping to convince my two "anti hotdog" children to give them a try again. Fingers crossed for this recipe. I agree with you also about cast iron, it's the best.
ReplyDeleteMy friends LOVE banh mi! There's a hot dog place by us that makes a banh mi version, but YOURS HAS BACON! So it is automatically the best and the champion of all hot dogs everywhere. ;)
ReplyDeleteForget chocolate strawberries, steaks and heart shaped eggs! The way to a guy's heart is through this Banh Mi Bacon wrapped hot dog. This is a little piece of heaven wrapped in bacon and broccoli slaw. This is definitely going on our menu as a regular meal! Instead of frying dogs, we baked in the oven leaving us time to make the slaw and some spicy fries. My daughter added a quick pickled cucumber salad as a garnish. Mmmm
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention of Red Dog Diary. We're in the home stretch and are hoping to be done by the end of the year. Our hope is that it will provide information to others in the same situation.

ReplyDeleteI think this is a standout amongst the most critical data for me. What's more, I'm happy perusing your article. Be that as it may, ought to comment on some broad things .
ReplyDeleteThis is such an excellent post. You are honest and realistic about what you are dealing with and I appreciate that. Some people don't understand why I am so careful with Luke around strangers. He has never bit anyone, and I will do everything I can to make sure that never happens
ReplyDeleteMost proprietors are energized, some are terrified, and some are presumptuous, however regardless of their identity, or what they improve the situation a living, there is nothing very as scary for them as washing their very own dog out in the open!
ReplyDeleteI love this post. I think that internet trolls exist in every square inch of the internet. I've been lucky so far in avoiding their focus. I had only one bad experience, and it really wasn't too bad.best rechargeable pet vacuums
