A delightful twist on the classic hot dog, featuring gooey cheese and crispy bacon.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and perfect results.
Cook the bacon in a frying pan until it starts to crisp but is still pliable.
Cooking the bacon partially helps it crisp up nicely in the oven.
Slice each hot dog lengthwise, creating a pocket without cutting all the way through.
Be careful not to slice through completely to keep the cheese secure.
Place a slice of cheese inside each hot dog pocket.
Use your favorite cheese for a personalized touch.
Wrap each hot dog with two slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks.
Overlap the bacon slightly to ensure full coverage.
Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking tray and bake until the cheese is melted and the bacon is crispy.
Keep an eye on the oven to prevent overcooking.
Remove the toothpicks and garnish with chopped green onions and a drizzle of mustard.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
