Ready in just 25 minutes, this easy hot dog sandwich is an irresistible twist on a cookout classic that's perfect for lunch, dinner, or a family picnic.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat.
Lightly brush the hot dogs with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Grill the hot dogs for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they're charred and heated through.
While the hot dogs are grilling, spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Toast the buttered side of the bread slices in the skillet until golden brown and crisp, about 1-2 minutes per side. Set aside.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on the unbuttered side of two toasted bread slices. Return these slices to the skillet over low heat, allowing the cheese to melt for 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard to create a tangy sandwich sauce.
Assemble the sandwich: On the cheesy bread slices, spread some of the sauce. Add a lettuce leaf, two grilled hot dogs, and optional relish if desired.
Top each sandwich with another slice of toasted bread, buttered side facing out.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as chips or coleslaw. Enjoy!
