Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units Hot dogs
- 4 units Hot dog buns
- 8 slices Bacon strips
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce
- 8 units Cherry tomatoes
- 0.33 cup Ranch dressing
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or grill over medium heat and cook the hot dogs until they are heated through and have a slight char, about 5-7 minutes.
In a separate pan, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb the excess grease.
Rinse and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves, then chop them into bite-sized shreds.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper for added flavor.
Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes for a warm, soft texture.
Place the cooked hot dogs into the buns. Layer 2 strips of crispy bacon on top of each hot dog.
Top the bacon with the shredded lettuce and sliced cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle each BLT Ranch Dog generously with ranch dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful twist on a classic hot dog!
