I love a good food combo—Cronuts, sushi burritos, pizza bagels, mac 'n' cheese pizza—they're all great mashups that combine iconic foods to create something exciting and new. My love for these types of combos compels me to look for new and trendy foods and that's how I stumbled across a recipe that has me rushing to buy hot dogs .
Content creator @chilesandsmoke shared this recipe for a Grilled Cheese Hot Dog on TikTok, but I also found it on his website that broke the process down even further. This is one of those recipes that makes me wonder why I never thought of it, but I'm so glad someone did!

@chilesandsmoke GRILLED CHEESE HOT DOGS • Seriously, combine the bite of a savory hot dog enveloped in a golden cheese crust with insane textures and pure comfort. This recipe is a mashup of my favorite childhood summer lunches. You know, just as it hits 110°F here in Arizona. Fire these up easily on the new @Weber Grills Slate Griddle, which has the best temperature control and non-stick surface. Slick enough to scrape up the most perfectly, cheese-crusted hot dogs you'll ever have. A few wipes afterward and my griddle is ready to go for another round. I seriously love mine.

According to the Chiles and Smoke website , these Grilled Cheese Hot Dogs "combine the bite of a savory hot dog enveloped in a golden cheese crust with insane textures and pure comfort." That sounds amazing!
The key ingredients for this masterpiece include hot dogs, shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterrey Jack melt well and give a robust flavor), seasoning of your choice, pickles, jalapenos or banana peppers, butter and hot dog buns.
To make this magnificent mashup, you start by scoring the hot dogs and shredding your cheese (if you didn't buy pre-shredded). Add the seasoning to your hot dogs and cook them for a few minutes on each side, then set aside.
Sprinkle half of your cheese inside each hot dog bun, then add your pickles, jalapenos or banana peppers and the cooked hot dog. Pack the remaining cheese on top, making sure that it's packed in tight so that it doesn't fall out.

Melt the butter on a griddle and carefully place the hot dogs, cheese-side down, to grill for a few minutes. The cheese will get crispy and form a crust. Then, flip the hot dog and toast the other parts of the bun for just a few more minutes. Once the bun is golden and toasty, you're done! You can serve your grilled cheese hot dog with your favorite toppings or sauces.
This is a great recipe that combines two easy-to-make great comfort foods, but it's also good because of how simple it is to customize. You can change out the cheese flavors, add bacon or other meats, top it with various seasonings and sauces, and use different types of hot dog buns to make this a work of art that perfectly suits your tastes.
