Grilled Cheese Hot Dogs


Ingredients

  • 4 hot dogs (crosshatched or split for extra texture)

  • 4 top-split hot dog buns

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (for bun toasting)

  • 1 cup shredded white cheese

  • 1 cup shredded yellow cheese

  • Optional: 1/2 cup pimento cheese

  • 2 tablespoons butter (for griddle finish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat griddle to medium-low for buns and medium for hot dogs.

  2. Score hot dogs in a crosshatch pattern OR split down the center without cutting through.

  3. Cook hot dogs until browned and crispy in the cuts.

  4. Spread mayonnaise inside each bun. Toast cut-side down until lightly golden.

  5. Place hot dog into toasted bun.

  6. Add optional pimento cheese inside bun or on dog.

  7. Layer white and yellow shredded cheese generously over and around the dog.

  8. Place assembled hot dog cheese-side down onto griddle to form a cheese crust (cheese skirt).

  9. Cook on low until cheese crisps and browns. Flip carefully to lightly toast the opposite side.

10. Remove from griddle and rest for 1–2 minutes.


Final Assembly

  1. Spoon warm Hussey Hot Dog Chili over each grilled cheese hot dog.

  2. Serve immediately while cheese crust is crispy and chili is hot.


Note: This is a smooth hot dog chili — no beans, no chunks — built specifically to sit perfectly on a grilled cheese hot dog.
