Bacon Avocado Hot Dog (California Dog!)

I think one of the top “satisfying to the taste buds” sandwich is definitely a BLT. This hot dog recipe is a BLT with a California twist!

What could be better than any food you eat – that has bacon in the name? In my mind,  bacon is totally a vegetable and a basic must have food group. When I started playing around with hotdog recipes I kept thinking how popular my Ultimate Blue Cheese BLT Sandwich was when it hit the blog and thought let’s make that into a hot dog.

I left out the “L” for lettuce, because it seemed too healthy next to the bacon and added avocado so you got an awesome cream texture that changed it from boring ketchup or mustard. Along with simple ingredients, there are some easy tips to make sure the ingredients pop and stand on their own.
