Ingredients
1. 1 pound ground beef
2. 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
3. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4. 1/4 cup bread crumbs
5. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
6. Salt and pepper to taste
7. 8 hot dog sausages
8. 8 slices of American cheese
9. 1 cup flour
10. 1 cup cornmeal
11. 1 tablespoon baking powder
12. 1 teaspoon salt
13. 1 cup milk
14. Vegetable oil for frying
15. 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bacon, cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion around a hot dog sausage, forming it into a hot dog shape.
3. Place a slice of American cheese on top of each bacon cheeseburger hot dog and press it down gently to adhere.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.
6. Dip each bacon cheeseburger hot dog into the batter, making sure it is evenly coated.
7. Carefully place the corn dog into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Remove the corn dog from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. Insert a wooden skewer into each corn dog and serve hot with your favorite condiments.
Notes
Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for best results
Don’t overcrowd the fryer – cook 2-3 corn dogs at a time
Chill assembled corn dogs for 15 minutes before battering for better shape retention
Serve immediately for optimal texture contrast
Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in 375°F oven for 8-10 minutes
