Remove bacon from the griddle and set aside.

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the griddle and heat up.

Add hot dogs (100% beef) to the griddle to crisp up the skin and enhance flavor.

In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the hot dogs for color and flavor.

Warm 3 hot dog rolls on all sides in the griddle.

Remove hot dog rolls and hot dogs from the griddle once they are golden brown.

Load hot dogs into the rolls, drizzle with ketchup, and top with pineapple salsa.

Drizzle the hot dogs with the honey mustard mixture.

Roughly chop the cooked bacon and pile it on top of the hot dogs.
