1 pack bacon 

*toothpicks

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F

2. Cut hotdogs into quarters and bacons in halves (crosswise).

3. Wrap each hotdog with a strip of bacon. Use toothpicks to hold them together, if necessary.

4. Place the bacon-wrapped dogs over a baking pan (w/ baking sheet) then cook for about 20-30 minutes.
