Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup French fries
- Ketchup and mustard, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook the sliced onion over medium heat until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the onion is cooking, grill the hot dogs until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Place the hot dog buns on a baking sheet. Fill each bun with a hot dog, crispy bacon, caramelized onions, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the hot dogs are baking, cook the French fries according to package instructions.
- Serve the bacon-loaded hot dogs with the French fries, and add ketchup and mustard as desired.
Notes
- You can use any type of hot dog (beef, chicken, turkey, or plant-based) depending on your preference.
- If you like a bit of heat, add some jalapeños or hot sauce on top of the cheese before baking.
- For a healthier twist, try using turkey bacon or skipping the cheese.
