Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces hot dogs
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into sticks
- 8 slices bacon
- 16 pieces toothpicks
- 8 pieces hot dog buns
- 0.5 cups ketchup
- 0.25 cups yellow mustard
Instructions
Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C). If using an oven, line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Take each hot dog and cut a slit lengthwise down the center, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Insert a stick of cheddar cheese into the slit of each hot dog.
Wrap a slice of bacon tightly around each hot dog, ensuring the cheese stays in place. Secure the bacon at each end with a toothpick.
If using a grill, place the wrapped hot dogs on the grill over indirect heat and cook, turning occasionally, for 15–20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the hot dog is heated through.
If using an oven, place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes or until the bacon is fully cooked and crispy.
Remove the toothpicks and place each hot dog into a bun.
Serve with ketchup and mustard for topping, or add any additional condiments of your choice. Enjoy immediately.
