These loaded slaw dogs take the humble hot dog to gourmet territory. Each jumbo frank is split and stuffed with gooey cheddar, wrapped in bacon, then grilled until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is flowing. A mound of tangy vinegar slaw on top adds the perfect crunch and contrast.

Instructions

Make the slaw

Toss cabbage and carrot with vinegar, sugar, mayonnaise, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors meld.

Stuff the dogs

Cut a deep slit lengthwise down each hot dog, about 3/4 of the way through. Press a stick of cheddar cheese into each slit.

Wrap with bacon

Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each stuffed hot dog in a spiral pattern, tucking the ends under. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

Pro tip: Start wrapping from one end and spiral tightly with slight overlap to ensure even coverage.

Grill

Grill over medium heat (350°F) for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the bacon is crispy on all sides and the cheese is melting. Keep the lid closed between turns.

Assemble

Toast the buns on the grill for 30 seconds. Place each bacon-wrapped dog in a bun. Pile high with tangy slaw and a drizzle of mustard. Remove any toothpicks and serve.
