Instructions

- Place the grilled hot dogs into the lightly toasted buns.
- Top each hot dog evenly with the crumbled bacon, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes.
- Drizzle each hot dog with a generous helping of mayonnaise.

Tips
- For a healthier option, you could use turkey bacon and whole wheat buns.
- If you like a little kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the mayonnaise before drizzling it on.
