Making Hot Dog Bacon

1. He begins by cutting the hotdogs into thin strips. If you have a heavy-duty vegetable peeler, that might also work well.
2. Then he drops them into his air fryer and lets the machine work. Easy peasy!

When he removes these crispy strips from the basket, he reports, “That’s some good hot dog right there.” Yep, we’re definitely going to try this one! I’m just curious if it tastes more like bacon or a hot dog . I guess there’s only one way to know for sure.

People were on board with this clever idea. One person reported, “That’s what I did. I tried the potato peeler first, and I do not recommend it. This stuff was fire, tho! I’m obsessed now.” That’s good to know! Another viewer remarked, “It’s not bad, eh? My son and I put those strips inside a grilled cheese.” That’s an exciting way to use these crispy strips. Viewer @Barbara responded, “Grew up eating this with breakfast!! I just called them fried hot dogs. I’m 66.” With a fancy name, anything old becomes new again.

Why Are Hot Dogs Now Called Glizzys?

According to Reddit users, this slang term initially referred to a Glock handgun, which was made famous by DC area rappers. Some say it was more specifically meant to refer to the clip because it was similar in size to a hot dog. But there’s nothing I can find to confirm that. However, one thing is sure: whether in memes, social media trends, or regional slang, glizzy has become a fun and widely recognized term in contemporary culture. Other terms associated with this word include glizzy gobbler and glizzy gladiator, especially when discussing hot dog-eating contests and longstanding champions like Joey Chestnut.

With bacon's cost rising these days, this can be a great way to save a few dollars. Who knows? It might just be our new favorite way of eating franks.
