Wrap hotdogs with bacon, covering from end to end. It can be helpful to use toothpicks to keep the bacon attached to each end of the hotdog.

Make a ¾ inch deep slit at the end of each hotdog and insert the corner of the bacon into the slit before interesting a toothpick to hold it all together while it cooks. 

Cook your bacon on a griddle or flat-top grill, turning regularly until the bacon is cooked to a crispy brown.

As the bacon begins to brown and get crisp, you can remove the toothpicks from the hot dogs. The crisp bacon will retain its shape and remain wrapped around the hotdog at this point.

Removed cooked hot dogs from the griddle and keep them in a warm oven until ready to serve. Tenting the hot dogs with foil will create steam and wilt the crisp bacon, so leave them uncovered.
