Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/4 cup chopped onions
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 hot dogs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk
• Vegetable oil for frying

Preparation Method

Prepare the beef mixture by combining ground beef, bread crumbs, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped onions, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion around a hot dog, ensuring the beef mixture completely covers it.

In another bowl, prepare the batter by mixing flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the milk, stirring until a thick batter forms.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the corn dogs fully.

Dip each cheeseburger-wrapped hot dog into the batter, ensuring an even coating.

Carefully lower each battered corn dog into the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Turn the corn dogs as needed to ensure even cooking.

Remove the corn dogs from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Serve hot with your favorite condiments such as ketchup, mustard, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce. Enjoy these crispy, cheesy delights!

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra crispy texture, try double-dipping the corn dogs in the batter before frying. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the batter for a little heat. If you prefer a lighter version, consider baking them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
