📝 Instructions

8 steps
1

Preheat a skillet or grill to medium heat.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

Assemble the Whistle Dogs: Place a cooked hot dog inside each toasted bun, and then top with a slice of cheddar cheese.

6

Crumble the crispy bacon over the cheese and add a pickle spear to each hot dog.

7

Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the assembled Whistle Dogs to taste.

8

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your A&W-inspired Whistle Dog!
