Ingredients

  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 4 hot dog sausages
  • 4 oz cheddar cheese, sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Add the 4 hot dog sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have grill marks, about 6-8 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the sausages cook, open the 4 hot dog buns and place them on a baking sheet. Toast them in a toaster oven or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

  3. 3

    Place the cooked sausages into the toasted buns. Immediately top each with 1 oz of cheddar cheese slices.

  4. 4

    Return the assembled hot dogs to the warm grill or a baking sheet and cover with a lid or foil for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and gooey.

  5. 5

    Serve hot, with your favorite condiments like ketchup, mustard, or relish if desired.
