Who would’ve thought… who would’ve known…. that oven-baked hot dogs could be soooo good? Maybe it was because I was just jonesin’ for a hot dog, but a glance outside made me realize that a grilled dog just wasn’t in my future. These baked ones came out just great! No need to fire up the grill, these dogs satisfied my cravings and then some!
They’re Supposed To Be Messy
Here are they are just before getting cheesed and baked. No point in being shy with the toppings. These are meant to be messy dogs so go all out. And… the money shot! I think these oven-baked hot dogs would be great for a party, kids or not!
Also try my awesome pickle hot dogs. For another great oven-baked favorite, cook up a few racks of oven-baked ribs.
