Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • Hot dogs (8)
  • Bacon (8 strips)
  • Hot dog buns (8)
  • Onions (2 medium, diced)
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice) (1 cup)
  • Mustard (to taste)
  • Ketchup (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Carefully wrap each hot dog with a strip of bacon, ensuring it's snug but not overly tight. Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onions with a pinch of salt until they become golden brown and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Once done, set aside.
  4. Generously top each bacon-wrapped hot dog with the caramelized onions, then sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't overcook.
  6. While the hot dogs are baking, lightly toast the hot dog buns in the oven for the last 2-3 minutes until they are warm and slightly crispy.
  7. Once the hot dogs are ready, carefully place them inside the toasted buns. Drizzle with mustard and ketchup to your liking, and serve immediately.
