INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Package Dempster’s® Original Hot Dog Buns
  • 8 jumbo hot dogs
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 8 large Vidalia or Sweet onions, thickly sliced into rings
  • 2 cups (500 mL) shredded aged orange cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat one side of grill to medium heat. Grease grates well. Wrap each dog with a slice of bacon. Secure with toothpicks. Grill, turning, for 8 to 10 minutes or until bacon is golden and hot dogs are heated through. Remove toothpicks.
  2. Meanwhile, grill onions for 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly charred and tender. Cut in half.
  3. Assemble hot dogs in buns and top each evenly with onions and cheese. Return to grill over medium-low heat. Cover and cook over for 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  4. If serving for less people, divide accordingly.

Tip: For a spicy cheese bacon dog, top with pickled jalapenos.
