Ingredients

  • 8 bun length hot dogs
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 8 hot dog buns
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • mustard
  • chopped onion
  • pickle relish
  • canned jalapeno slices
  • sauerkraut

Method

  • Wrap wieners tightly with bacon and place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes to help the bacon adhere to the wieners better.
  • Heat a non-stick stove top grill or outdoor grill, oiling lightly, and cook wieners until the bacon is slightly crispy.
  • Open buns (butter the insides if desired) and toast lightly over the grill or in a broiler.
  • Insert wieners into buns and top with cheese. Wrap with foil and return to grill for a few minutes to allow cheese to melt.
  • Serve with desired condiments along with potato salad or potato chips and baked beans.
