Ingredients for Bacon Burger Cheese Dogs

  • Ground Beef
  • 16-24 slices bacon
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Cajun Seasoning

How to Make Bacon Burger Cheese Dogs

  1. In a large bowl, gently mix 1 pound ground beef with 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (or your favorite seasoning blend).
  2. Shape the meat mixture into eight square patties, about ½ inch thick.
  3. Place a slice of your favorite cheese (approximately 1 ounce per patty) in the center of each patty. Seal the edges tightly to enclose the cheese.
  4. Wrap each patty with 2-3 slices of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks.
  5. You should now have 8 hot dog-shaped bacon cheeseburger dogs!
  6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the cheeseburger dogs for approximately 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the patties are cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately on toasted hot dog buns. Add your favorite toppings like ketchup, mustard, relish, or onion!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
