Double BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Dogs

Directions:

1. 1. Prepare the Meat: Season ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Divide into four portions.
   2. Wrap the Hot Dogs: Flatten each portion of beef and wrap it around a hot dog, fully covering the hot dog in the beef mixture.

1. 1. Grill the Dogs: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the beef-wrapped hot dogs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is fully cooked.
   2. Add the Cheese: In the final minute of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each hot dog, allowing it to melt.

1. 1. Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
   2. Assemble: Place the grilled hot dogs in the toasted buns. Drizzle with BBQ sauce, sprinkle crumbled bacon, and add any optional toppings.

How to Prepare:

1. 1. Grill with Care: Make sure the ground beef is tightly wrapped around the hot dog to ensure even cooking and prevent it from falling apart on the grill.
   2. Cheese Melting Tip: Place the cheese on top during the last minute of grilling to achieve the perfect melt.

1. 1. Extra Crisp Bacon: Fry your bacon until it’s crispy before crumbling it over the dogs for an added crunch.
   2. BBQ Sauce: Choose your favorite BBQ sauce to bring a smoky sweetness that complements the savory flavors of the dish.
