Bacon Cheddar Crunch Hotdogs

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat one side of your Blackstone to medium heat, leaving one side of the griddle off or on very low for warming.

2. 2

   Cook the bacon until crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

3. 3

   Using a hot dog scoring tool or a sharp knife, score each hot dog with a double crosshatch pattern on all sides.

4. 4

   Place the hot dogs on the hot griddle and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, rolling occasionally until evenly browned and heated through.

5. 5

   Toast the hot dog buns cut side down until lightly golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Move the toasted buns to the cooler side of the griddle or a warming rack.

6. 6

   Place one hot dog into each toasted bun.

7. 7

   Top each hot dog with one slice of crispy bacon, three pickle slices, one slice of pub cheddar, and a generous sprinkle of diced onions.

8. 8

   Leave the hot dogs on the cooler side of the griddle just long enough for the cheese to soften slightly, then serve immediately.
