Hebrew National 100% Kosher Beef Hot Dogs turned “Rocket Dogs”
How super cute are these “Rocket Dogs,” y’all?! I had a chance to do a 4th of July entertaining segment on WPIX in New York yesterday and showcased some delicious ideas on set! I also kept my theme of pairing various grill items with specific beers to bring out the flavor of your party spread. When you’re serving Rocket Dogs, try pairing with an Amber lager which is going to have a malty backbone and a slightly soft bitterness which will really bring out the beef flavor. On set, I used Toasted Lager, from New York’s Blue Point Brewing Company.
When entertaining for Fourth of July weekend, it is important to start with a premium quality base like Hebrew National 100% kosher beef franks. Their hot dogs are made of only premium cuts of beef and contain no artificial colors, fillers, flavors or by-products.
And they have variety for every hot dog lover— including their regular, quarter pound dinner frank, bun-length, 97% fat free, reduced fat, franks in a blanket and bagel dogs. For the health conscious grillers out there, Hebrew National offers a 97% Fat Free Frank that tastes great and is 45 calories and 1.5 grams of fat per serving. Yes, hot dogs can be delicious and guilt-free!
The first thing you need to do is get some wooden skewers (I found them at the grocery store) and soak them in some water for about 5 minutes. This is going to prevent them from burning when you bake them. Skewer through the entire Hebrew National hot dog and wrap with crescent roll dough to create a spiral effect. Then, just bake for 10 minutes at 350. Cut a triangle of cheddar (or your favorite cheese) and pop it on top of the dog. Such a fun recipe to make with the kids! (And even easier to get picky eaters to enjoy them!)
And congrats to the lucky WPIX viewer who won this amazing grill from Kenmore– It’s pretty sweet!

- one pack of Hebrew National Beef Franks
- wooden skewers
- Cheese cut into triangles
- Pillsbury crescent rolls
- Preheat oven to 350
- Soak skewers in water for 5 minutes to prevent them burning in the oven.
- Skewer through hot dogs, leaving about 2 inches at the top of the hot dog.
- Lay out crescent rolls-- each one will be in the shape of a long triangle. Using a knife, cut off the ends of the triangle so the dough is one long rectangle. (This makes them easier to wrap around the hot dog evenly.)
- Skewer the end of the dough to secure it to the rocket dog and wrap around the hot dog in a spiral pattern.
- Repeat with the rest of the dough and hot dogs.
- Lay down on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
- Bake for 10 minutes until dough is golden.
- Let cool and skewer triangles of cheese on top.
- Serve and enjoy!
