Few things scream American Food more than hot dogs, bacon, and mac and cheese. Put them all together you have a tasty way to celebrate America while tailgatining, at a pool party, or celebrating the 4th of July!
Cook bacon is one of the many ways I use the Bull Slide-In Removable Griddle.
I know the list of ingredients for this recipe sounds heart stopping but with a few tweaks you can feel good about being bad.
- Substitute turkey bacon instead of traditional pork bacon
- Use a turkey or vegan hot dog
- Instead of a bun try using lettuce to wrap it
- Try a gluten free or rice flower mac and cheese
I love the convenience of using my Side Kick Cart Side Burner.
