Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Hot dogs
- 4 oz Cheddar cheese
- 8 pieces Hot dog buns
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Dried parsley
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- Optional toppings (ketchup, mustard, relish, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut a slit lengthwise in each hot dog, being careful not to cut all the way through, creating a pocket.
Slice the cheddar cheese into thin sticks approximately 1/4 inch wide and the same length as the hot dogs.
Stuff each slit hot dog with one or two sticks of cheddar cheese until full but not overflowing.
Place the cheddar-stuffed hot dogs into the hot dog buns and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 15-20 seconds in the microwave).
Stir the garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt into the melted butter.
Using a pastry brush, coat the tops of the buns with the seasoned butter mixture.
Bake the hot dogs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as ketchup, mustard, relish, or even caramelized onions!
