Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Hot dogs
- 6 pieces Hot dog buns
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 1 optional Optional toppings such as diced onions, jalapeños, or mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and mix in the garlic powder. Split the hot dog buns without fully separating them, and lightly brush the inside with the garlic-butter mixture. Place the buns on a baking sheet and set aside.
Bring a small pot of water to boil and add the hot dogs. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes, or until heated through. Drain and set aside.
In a separate saucepan over low heat, combine cheddar cheese and milk, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and forms a smooth sauce. Remove from heat.
Fill each hot dog bun with a cooked hot dog and drizzle the cheese sauce generously over the top. Optionally, sprinkle on diced onions, jalapeños, or your favorite toppings.
Place the assembled cheese dogs back on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the buns are toasty and the cheese has set slightly.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy your gooey, cheesy hot dogs!
