Burger Bacon Dogs

Ingredients:

1 pound of hamburger
1 pound of thin sliced bacon
8 hot dogs (the real deal, no cheap ones!)
4 slices of cheese(split the slices of cheese in half)
1 egg
16 toothpicks
Tin Foil Wrap


Instructions:

1st Step:
Combine hamburger, egg and your spices/seasonings to taste and form 8 hamburger patties.

2nd Step:
Spread out your bacon with every two slices being about 2 " apart.

3rd Step:
Slice each hot dog from end to end about half through the thickness of the dog and insert one half slice of the cheese into each dog.

4th Step:
Place the dog on one end of the hamburger patty and carefully roll the dog while wrapping it with the patty.

5th Step:

Place this carefully at the ends of your bacon, which should be spaced 2 " apart (2 slices of bacon per burger-dog), carefully roll and wrap the bacon. Secure bacon to each burger-dog with two toothpicks.  
NOTE: Leave each toothpick exposed on one side or the other in order to remove them after cooking.

6th Step:
Wrap your burger-dogs with tin foil and place on grill over medium heat, but do not place directly over flame.
Cook for half-hour and then carefully remove foil from burger-dogs.

7th Step:
Place burger dogs back onto grill for browning.

Serve with any condiments by itself or on a large Hoagie Roll
