Sub bacon ranch for your favorite ranch dressing flavor. What are you in the mood for today — smoky Chipotle, a peppery twist, cool Original ranch, Blue cheese?
Instead of bacon: Try turkey bacon or prosciutto
Instead of iceberg lettuce: Use spring mix or arugula
Instead of hot dog buns: Try pretzel buns, brioche buns or skip the bun entirely

Feelin’ extra? Amp it up with a fun twist:

Cook and crumble the bacon ahead of time. When ready, cook the hot dogs in your preferred way – boil, cook in a pan, or on the grill. Place in hot dog buns, top with crumbled bacon and your toppings of choice.
Cookout hot dog bar, game days and kid-friendly parties: Set out the hot dogs plus bowls of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, crumbled bacon, and Hidden Valley™ Bacon Ranch Condiment & Dressing so everyone can build their own BLT-style dog. Add pickles, sliced jalapeños, or diced avocado for extra topping options.
Mini party bites: Make these with cocktail-size hot dogs and mini buns, then top with a little lettuce, tomato, bacon, and a drizzle of Hidden Valley™ Bacon Ranch Condiment & Dressing.
Leftover remix: Chop leftover hot dogs and toss into a quick pasta salad or potato salad, then finish with Hidden Valley™ Bacon Ranch Condiment & Dressing for an easy next-day lunch.
