All-American Burger Dog
A delicious twist on the classic hot dog, combining ground beef and cheese, served in a hot dog bun, perfect for summer grilling.
Ingredients
- ground beef (0.45 kilograms)
- Cheddar cheese (2 slices)
- extra-long hot dog buns (2 )
- mayonnaise (4 teaspoons)
- ketchup (2 tablespoons)
- salt (0 )
- freshly ground black pepper (0 )
Instructions
- Place half the ground beef on a sheet of plastic wrap. Pat it into a rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick, 8 1/2 inches long, and 4 inches wide. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the beef into a log, using the plastic wrap as a guide. Season with more salt and pepper. Wrap the plastic tightly around the log and twist both ends tight. Pat gently to slightly flatten. Repeat with the remaining ground beef.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the burger dogs from the plastic wrap and place on the grill, perpendicular to the grates. Cook until burgers are browned but still pink inside, 4 to 5 minutes, flip, and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Place a slice of cheese on each burger dog and grill to medium doneness (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F/60 degrees C). Remove and rest for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Toast hot dog buns on the grill and spread each with 2 teaspoons of mayonnaise. Place one burger dog in each bun and squirt 1 tablespoon of ketchup on top.
