How to Make Bacon Wrapped Cheddar Dogs
- Wrap 8 wieners tightly with 16 slices of bacon (2 slices per wiener). Secure with toothpicks if needed. Freeze for at least 20 minutes to help the bacon adhere.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface.
- Grill the bacon-wrapped wieners for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the wieners are heated through.
- While the wieners grill, lightly toast 8 hot dog buns on the grill or under a broiler.
- Place the grilled wieners in the toasted buns.
- Top each wiener with 1-2 slices of cheddar cheese.
- Wrap each hot dog in a small piece of aluminum foil and return to the grill for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve immediately with your favorite condiments (ketchup, mustard, relish, etc.), along with sides like potato salad, potato chips, or baked beans.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
