For the Cheese Dog

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat and Prepare

    Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium heat. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare Hot Dogs

    Take the hot dogs and make a lengthwise slit in each one, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each hot dog with cheddar cheese.

  3. 3

    Season the Dogs

    Sprinkle paprika and black pepper over the stuffed hot dogs for added flavor.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Grill or Cook

    Place the stuffed hot dogs on the grill or in the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they're heated through and the cheese is melted.

  2. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the hot dogs are cooking, lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill or in the oven for about 2-3 minutes until warm and slightly crispy.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Cheese Dogs

    Once the hot dogs are cooked, place each cheese-stuffed hot dog into a toasted bun. Top with diced onions, pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the cheese dogs immediately while hot and enjoy!
