These BLAT Dogs are bacon wrapped hot dogs that are served topped with lettuce, avocado, tomatoes and a ranch sauce.
If you’re a fan of the bacon, lettuce, and tomato combo, also make sure to check out these Egg Salad BLT’s and this BLT Dip.
If you have been following me since last year, you should remember a fun theme week I had last year. And we are back again this year.
Welcome to the 2nd annual Hot Dog Week!!
You all know I’m a sucker for a good hot dog. So I had to bring hot dog week back. It just wouldn’t be summer without it, right? This week, I have 5 brand new hot dog recipes coming at you that you definitely don’t want to miss.
Up first – a favorite classic sandwich turned hot dog! BLTs are a definite favorite around here – especially when they are turned BLATs! I mean, you can’t really go wrong when bacon is involved, and throwing the avocado on is really a no-brainer. Change it up from a sandwich to a hot dog topping? I don’t know why I didn’t think about it sooner!!
I have always wanted to try making bacon-wrapped hot dogs, and this gave me the perfect excuse. You can’t really see it under all of that topping goodness, but a bacon-wrapped hot dog starts the party. Then you simply top the dog with a quick ranch dressing, chopped lettuce, tomatoes and avocados. It really is that simple, and sooo good.
I’d say this is a pretty great way to start off hot dog week!

The only thing better than a BLT sandwich is adding a hot dog to the equation too! Love the addition of the ranch dressing. Can’t wait to see the other hot dogs this week 🙂
