Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a mixing bowl, take the ground beef and gently form it into a patty approximately 1/2 inch thick. Make sure not to overwork the beef to keep it juicy.

  2. 2

    Season the Patty

    Season the patty with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, you can add some garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill or Pan-Fry the Patty

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patty for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patty and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

  2. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty and cover it with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.

Assembling the Dog

  1. 5

    Toast the Bun

    While the patty is cooking, slice the hot dog bun and lightly toast it on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Build the Hot Dog

    Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese into the toasted bun. Top with mustard, ketchup, chopped onions, sliced pickles, and any optional add-ons like jalapeños or relish.
