Ingredients

4 hot dogs

8 large jalapeño peppers

6 tablespoons softened cream cheese

¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 hot dog buns

2 tablespoons yellow mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high heat; grease grates well.

Step 2

Slice ends off jalapeños. Cut a slit down one long side and remove seeds.

Step 3

Without cutting all the way through, sliced each hot dog lengthwise to create a slit. Stuff each sausage with 1 ½ tablespoons cream cheese and 1 tablespoon cheddar cheese. Wrap jalapeño tubes around hot dogs (2 per hot dog), affixing with toothpicks if necessary.

Step 4

Grill hot dogs, occasionally turning carefully, for 5 – 8 minutes or until hot dogs are heated through, cheese is melted and jalapeños are lightly charred. Toast hot dog buns on grill in the last 1 – 2 minutes of grilling, until lightly toasted.

Step 5

Arrange hot dogs in toasted buns (remove toothpicks if used). Drizzle with mustard before serving.

Tips

Grilling sausages, like Polishes or bratwursts, can be used in lieu of hot dogs. Adjust buns accordingly.

Level up your toppings—try drizzling with barbecue sauce and topping with crispy fried onions for added flavor and texture.
