Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pack of hotdogs
- 1 pack of hotdog buns
- 4 tablespoons of softened butter
- 1/2 cup shredded yellow cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- Ketchup or mustard (Optional dipping sauces)
Instructions
- Start by butterflying your hotdogs—slice them vertically down the middle, but don’t cut all the way through. Use a rolling pin to flatten out the hotdog buns, then spread butter on each one.
- Shred both yellow and white cheddar cheese. You can use bagged cheese if needed, but freshly shredded cheese from the block melts much better.
- Heat a griddle or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Toast both sides of the buns and cook the hotdogs. This should only take a few minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add a layer of shredded cheese to one side of each bun, place the hotdog on top, then sprinkle more cheese over it. Close the bun and gently press it down with a spatula.
- Let the cheese melt for a few minutes, flipping the sandwich once or twice until both sides are golden and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from heat, let them cool for a couple of minutes, and serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dip.
