Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 tablespoon red bell pepper
  • 2 hot dogs butterflied
  • 2 hot dog buns split
  • ¼ cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2 pieces bacon cooked, crumbled

Instructions

  • Fire up your grill with a griddle (or alternatively, you can make this entire dish in a large skillet on a stove).
  • Add the peppers and cook just slightly. Remove.
  • Add the butterflied dogs cut-side down and cook until nice and lightly charred. Remove.
  • Add the buns, cut-side down, and toast lightly.
  • Assemble by placing dogs on bottom buns. Top with cheese, peppers and bacon. Return to the grill just long enough to melt the cheese (or place under your broiler).
  • Add top bun and serve.
