Ingredients
Scale
- 4 hot dog sausages
- 4 hot dog buns
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional for grilling)
- 1 tablespoon mustard (optional)
- Ketchup (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the sausages: Make a slit along the length of each sausage, deep enough to create a pocket but not all the way through.
- Stuff with cheese: Place a slice of cheese inside each sausage, pressing it gently to fit. If using shredded cheese, stuff it evenly into the pocket.
- Cook the sausages:
- Grilling method: Preheat your grill and cook the sausages for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the cheese is melted and the sausage is cooked through.
- Pan-frying method: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausages for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Assemble the cheese dogs: Place each cooked sausage inside a hot dog bun.
- Serve: Add optional condiments like mustard and ketchup, and enjoy!
