What I really enjoy about making hot dogs is that they are so easy to prepare for dinner. Western Hot dogs are very easy to make and will take very little time. This recipe consists of grilled hot dogs that are topped with crispy bacon, French fried onions, and BBQ sauce. The buns are toasted and topped with melted slices of white American cheese. If you do not want to use white American you could replace it with any sort of cheese you would like—cheddar may be a good option. For the hot dogs, I like to use the all-beef ones because I enjoy the flavor. The hot dogs can be grilled on an outdoor grill or you can use an indoor grill pan if you would prefer. Enjoy.
