Best Stuffed Hot Dogs Recipes

GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED STUFFED HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Prepare your grill for direct medium high heat.
• Mix together the ketchup and mustard in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the sauerkraut with the chopped onion, set aside. Slice open the hot dogs, down the center, lengthwise, forming a deep pocket in each, but not cutting all the way through. Coat the inside of each hot dog with the mustard ketchup mixture.
• Place a strip of cheese deep within the pocket of each hot dog. Top with sauerkraut and onions. Encapsulate the cheese at the ends with the sauerkraut mixture as well, so that no cheese is exposed (otherwise it will drip out when cooking).
• Wrap a strip of bacon around each stuffed hot dog, securing with toothpicks at each end. Make sure you wrap tight enough so that the stuffing stays in, but not so tight so that when the hot dog expands will cooking the bacon would tear.
• Coat your grill surface with vegetable oil so that the hot dogs don't stick. If you have a grill screen (a screen with smaller holes so that small pieces of whatever you're cooking don't fall through the grill), you can use it, just coat it with vegetable oil first and pre-heat for a couple of minutes. Place the stuffed hot dogs on the grill, stuffing side down. Grill for 2 minutes, until the bacon on that side is cooked, turn the hot dogs a quarter turn and grill for a couple more minutes. Continue to grill for a few minutes each on all sides until the bacon is cooked. Cover the grill in between turnings to help with the cooking.
• During the last minute of cooking, open up the hot dog buns and place them open-side down on the grill to lightly toast.
• Remove the hot dogs and buns from the grill. Remove the toothpicks from the hot dogs, place them in the buns and serve.

• Stuff 1 Vienna sausage (or hot dog) into each pepper.
• Pack peppers tightly into pint or quart jars.
• Bring sauce to boiling.
• Pour over peppers.
• Wipe rims of jar with a clean cloth; place llids and screw on rings fingertip-tight.
• Set the jars on lids for 5 minutes and then set right-side up until lids pop.**.
• **This is an heirloom recipe that uses the inversion method, which is no longer recommended by the USDA/NCHFP (National Center for Home Food Preservation) because it can affect the ability of the lid to form a good, secure seal to the jar. Current guidelines recommend pressure canning items containing meat for optimum shelf-stable storage safety, but at the very least the jars should be processed in a boiling water bath and left to cool, upright and undisturbed, on a cloth-protected counter for 24 hours. Check for seal and if the jar hasn't sealed, either re-process the jars within the 24 hours or refrigerate and use first.

• 12-by-12-inch charcoal bed (about 3 dozen coals)
• Clean, oiled grate on lowest setting
• Wood:
• Direct heat, light ash
• 12-by-12-inch bed, 3 to 4 inches deep
• Clean, oiled grate set 2 inches about the fire
• 1. Heat the grill as directed.
• 2. Mix the mustard, ketchup, and sauerkraut in a small bowl.
• 3. Slit the hot dogs lengthwise, forming a deep pocket end to end in each one. Fill the pockets halfway with the sauerkraut mixture. Put a stick of cheese in the center of each and top with the remaining sauerkraut mixture. Wrap a bacon slice around each hot dog to hold it together, and secure the ends of each bacon strip with wooden toothpicks.
• 4. Put the grill screen on the grill and coat it with oil. Wait a minute or two, until the surface is hot. Grill the hot dogs until the bacon is cooked through and the hot dogs are browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.

STUFFED HOT DOGS

Steps:

• 1. There is no amounts listed, as it depends on how many you make. You can easy make one hot dog or a whole pack.
• 2. Preheat oven to 350° degrees. Spray pan, suitable for the oven.
• 3. Take the number of hot dogs you wish to fix. Using a knife, cut from one end of the hot dog to the other, BEING CAREFUL NOT to cut completely through. Place the on the prepared pan.
• 4. Take the left over potatoes, or instant if that's what you use, and spoon into the "opened" hot dog, to the top~~and little more if you like.
• 5. Top each "stuffed" hot dog with 1/2 slice American cheese.
• 6. Put in preheated oven. Cook until cheese is bubbly.
• 7. Note: The hot dogs can be pre-boiled or even cooked for maybe 30 seconds(+/-) in the microwave prior to cutting. You can also warm the potatoes in the microwave prior to using, also. This will speed up the oven cooking time and will ensure all is equally cooked and the cheese not over cooked. These can also be "cooked" in the microwave or toaster oven, with pretty good results. In fact, I will often put some in the microwave. If you use the microwave for the final cooking, you can leave out the "pre-cook" and "pre-warm" steps suggested. Enjoy...
