This potato soup cooks in an Instant Pot® and is customizable with assorted toppings. I prefer to get my saltiness from the bacon, so I don’t add extra salt. I also like a thicker chowder-like consistency; if you like yours thinner, add more liquid.

Hot dogs wrapped in bacon came out pretty well. Brown sugar & butter ended up being more like caramel than a sauce. Kind of disappointed.
Made this several times. I use cocktail weiners – sometimes smokies sometimes the ones with cheddar. If you want one don’t turn your back on the plate at my house… they disappear quickly!!
What a fun little appetizer for a casual cookout. Let’s be realistic – this is heart attack food, but one or two pieces won’t kill you. They take no time to put together, and I cooked them on the outdoor grill before I put on the hamburgers. Very easy and fun.
These little treats are a favorite of this family. When I make them, I use all beef hot dogs. This is also really good with Lil’ Smokies. I like to serve them with a sauce made of chili sauce and grape jelly to dip…….as if they weren’t already sweet enough. 😉
We had these at our neighbors new deck christening party last weekend……….Fabulous! Just make sur the bacon is crispy before serving. Great addition to the usual apps……….
