Cheese Dog Ingredients

Method

Cheese Dog Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hot Dogs

    In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the hot dogs and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

  2. 2

    Melt the Cheese

    In a small saucepan over low heat, add the cheddar cheese and stir continuously until melted. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, slice the hot dog buns lengthwise but not all the way through. Spread butter on the outside of each bun.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    In a skillet over medium heat, toast the buttered sides of the buns until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Cheese Dogs

    Place one hot dog in each toasted bun. Drizzle the melted cheddar cheese over the hot dogs.

  6. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top with mustard, ketchup, diced onions, and sliced pickles as desired.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the cheese dogs immediately while hot and enjoy!
