Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Hot dog
- 4 pieces Hot dog buns
- 4 pieces Bacon strips
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Pickle spear
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or grill to medium heat.
Cook the bacon strips in the skillet or on the grill until crispy, then set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Lightly butter the inside of the hot dog buns and place them on the grill or skillet, cut-side down. Toast for about 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Grill or cook the hot dogs in the same skillet until heated through and lightly browned, rotating occasionally for even cooking. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Assemble the Whistle Dogs: Place a cooked hot dog inside each toasted bun, and then top with a slice of cheddar cheese.
Crumble the crispy bacon over the cheese and add a pickle spear to each hot dog.
Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the assembled Whistle Dogs to taste.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your A&W-inspired Whistle Dog!
