Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Hot dogs
- 4 Hot dog buns
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
- 0.5 cup Diced white onion
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat up your outdoor grill to medium heat.
Prepare 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap a hot dog and bun completely.
Place a hot dog bun in the center of each foil sheet.
Add 1 hot dog to each bun.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot dogs.
Drizzle ketchup and mustard on top of each hot dog as desired.
Top with diced onion for added flavor.
Wrap each foil sheet tightly around the hot dog and bun to create a sealed packet.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet if using an oven, or directly on the grates if using a grill.
Bake or grill for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the hot dog is heated through.
Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam!) and serve hot.
