BACON-WRAPPED HOT DOGS

Here's a juicy, delicious and savory meal in a bun! I make these bacon-wrapped hot dogs for picnics, barbecues and tailgate parties, and they always get compliments. To transport, wrap the hot dogs in foil and then in paper. -Peter Halferty, Corpus Christi, Texas

Hot Dog Curly Fries image

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Halve the hot dogs lengthwise, then cut each half in half lengthwise, and then in half again lengthwise so that you yield 8 hot dog "fries" from each. Lay the cut pieces in a single layer on the sheet pan and bake until the hot dogs are lightly browned and starting to curl up, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the fries to paper towels to dry, then mound them on a plate and serve with the three dippers.
Mix the ketchup and jam together in a bowl and serve.
Mix together the mayonnaise, sauerkraut, mustard, granulated garlic and salt in a bowl until combined.
Mix the mustard, relish, celery salt, sport peppers and tomato in a bowl until combined.
