Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the bacon-wrapped hot dogs.

  2. 2

    Wrap the Hot Dogs

    Take each beef hot dog and wrap it with two slices of bacon, ensuring the bacon overlaps slightly. Secure the ends of the bacon with toothpicks if necessary.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bake the Hot Dogs

    Place the bacon-wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.

  2. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top of the hot dogs and return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the hot dogs are baking, lightly toast the hot dog buns in the oven or on a grill until they are warm and slightly crispy.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Hot Dogs

    Remove the hot dogs from the oven and carefully place each bacon-wrapped hot dog into a toasted bun. Top with diced onions, relish, mustard, and ketchup as desired.
