Ingredients
4 beef hotdogs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Toothpicks, for securing cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well.
Slice each hotdog lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through—this creates a pocket for the filling.
Fill each hotdog with the cheese mixture, pressing gently to pack it in.
Wrap or top the hotdogs with additional shredded cheddar cheese. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Place hotdogs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes to allow the cheese to set before serving.
Notes
For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end—watch closely to avoid burning.
Try different cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or Colby Jack for flavor variations.
Serve with mustard, ketchup, or ranch dipping sauce.
