Bacon Stick Dogs

 

Kids Cooking

Wrap a hot dog with bacon and a refrigerated breadstick.  Bake and serve a “Stick Dog” for a quick lunch or snack.  Hot dogs are traditionally made from beef, pork or a combination of those meats. Unlike many other sausages (which may be sold cooked or uncooked), hot dogs are always cooked before being offered commercially.  Hot dogs may be safely eaten without further cooking though they are usually warmed up before serving.  Leave the kitchen very clean. 

Recipe:

1       11-ounce package refrigerated original breadsticks

8       bun-length hot dogs

8       thin wooden sticks

8       slices Ready to Serve bacon

2       tablespoons melted butter

         Grated Parmesan cheese

 

Preheat oven to 375-degrees.  Coat a baking sheet with a spray of canola oil.  Unroll dough and separate breadsticks.   Insert wood sticks lengthwise into hot dogs, leaving 2-inches of each stick exposed.  Wrap bacon slice in spiral fashion around hot dog and then wrap refrigerated breadstick over bacon.  Secure with a toothpick.   Brush butter over breadsticks.  Sprinkle with cheese.  Bake about 18-20 minutes or until bread sticks are golden brown. 

Yield:  8 servings.
