Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Shape 12 oz ground beef into a single patty, seasoning with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Grill the beef patty for 4 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred. At the same time, grill 1 beef hot dog for 2 minutes per side until heated and browned.
  3. Step 3: In a skillet over medium heat, cook 3 strips of bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, draining excess fat.
  4. Step 4: Lay out 3 large iceberg lettuce leaves. Spread 1 tbsp mayonnaise on each leaf, then place the grilled beef patty on one leaf, top with the hot dog, then layer the 3 crispy bacon strips.
  5. Step 5: Use the remaining lettuce leaves to fold the stack into a wrap or enjoy open-faced. Serve immediately for a protein-packed BBQ treat.
