Recipe of the Day

Basically a beer-battered corn dog. Stuffed with cheese. Wrapped in bacon.

Bacon, Cheese and Beer Dog

Ingredients:

1 hot dog
1 slice of thick-cut bacon
1 can of spray cheese
1 can beer (It doesn't matter what kind, but we recommend something dark. Corona probably isn't a good idea)
1 cup flour
Oil for frying

Instructions:
This one is a little work-intensive, so be ready to buckle down. First take the center out of the hot dog with an apple corer, if you have access to one. If not, just cut out the middle with a knife.

Fill the cavity with the spray cheese and use the hot dog you removed from the middle as a cap to keep the cheese in.

Wrap the bacon around the hot dog and deep-fry for two to four minutes or until bacon is cooked. Dab them dry with a paper towel (so the batter will stick).

Mix the beer with the flour until it reaches a thick, but lump-free consistency.

Dip the dogs in the batter, coating the dog completely, and deep-fry on high heat for two to three minutes or until brown and deadly.

NOTE: Don't fry them too long or all of the cheese will explode out into the oil. That's very bad.

You're not familiar with John Scalzi?
He's an incredibly cool blogger/published SF author who's won a Campbell Award, is running as a write-in candidate for President of SFWA and hit #2 blog for one day by posting pictures of bacon taped to his cat.
