Ingredients
-
8 hot dogs (preferably 100% beef)
-
8 slices regular-cut bacon
-
8 cheese sticks (cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
-
Toothpicks or skewers
-
Optional: sliced jalapeños, yellow mustard, sugar-free ketchup, crumbled pork rinds, keto chili (no beans)
Instructions
-
Preheat grill to medium heat (or oven at 400°F).
-
Slice each hot dog lengthwise, creating a pocket without cutting all the way through.
-
Stuff each pocket with a cheese stick and optional jalapeños or mustard.
-
Wrap each hot dog with 1-2 bacon slices, securing with toothpicks. Wrap bacon at a slight angle for even cooking.
-
Grill hot dogs 10-15 minutes, turning often to avoid flare-ups, until bacon is crispy and cheese melts. Alternatively, bake on a rack for 15-20 minutes, broiling last 2 minutes for crispiness.
-
Serve hot with optional toppings or sides like sugar-free coleslaw or grilled veggies.
Notes
-
Freeze cheese sticks for 10 minutes before stuffing to reduce leakage.
-
Use regular-cut bacon, not thick-cut, for even cooking.
-
Toothpicks keep bacon secure and prevent unraveling.
