Ingredients & Variations

Meat – Choose hot dogs that fit the length of the bun. Beef, pork, or blended meat dogs are fine. Choose bacon that is thick enough to stay whole on the dog. Pepper bacon, brown sugar, or maple are all fun varieties of bacon to experiment with.

Toppings – Pepper and onions are easy to make for LA street dogs. Sliced mushrooms, diced tomatoes, minced onion, nacho cheese, jalapenos, and sliced black olives are all fun and delicious toppings.

Buns – Choose buns that are long enough and big enough to hold the dog and the toppings. Rub a clove of garlic over the toasted buns for an extra punch of savory flavor!

How to Make LA Street Dogs

Street dogs are just as unique as the vendors who make them, and they are so simple to make:

1. Butter and toast buns in the air fryer. Keep them warm in the oven.
2. Cook the peppers and onions (per recipe below) and set them aside.
3. Wrap bacon around each hot dog and cook until the bacon is crispy.

Build the street dogs and heat them all up in the air fryer. Serve hot alone or with additional toppings.

Tips for the Perfect Hotdog

• Always preheat the air fryer to guarantee perfectly toasted buns, crispy bacon-wrapped dogs, and perfectly caramelized peppers and onions.
