I love taking my boys to the Minnesota State Fair, and I often get inspiration for recipes as we walk around and see the crazy new foods. My bacon-wrapped cheese curds recipe in The Ketogenic Cookbook was inspired by my first trip to the state fair with my boys years ago. The last time I was there, we came home and made these “pigs in a blanket” with bacon! This is an easy recipe to scale up or down to feed one or a crowd.
How to Make It
- Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Take a slice of bacon and secure it to one end of a hot dog with a toothpick, then spiral-wrap the bacon around the hot dog so that it covers the entire dog. Secure the other end of the bacon with another toothpick. Repeat with the rest of the bacon and hot dogs.
- Place the wrapped dogs in the hot skillet and fry on all sides until the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet, remove the toothpicks, and serve with ketchup.
