Ingredients
- 4 pieces Hot dog
- 4 pieces Hot dog buns
- 4 pieces Bacon strips
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Pickle spear
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet or grill to medium heat.
Step 2
Cook the bacon strips in the skillet or on the grill until crispy, then set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 3
Lightly butter the inside of the hot dog buns and place them on the grill or skillet, cut-side down. Toast for about 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Grill or cook the hot dogs in the same skillet until heated through and lightly browned, rotating occasionally for even cooking. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Assemble the Whistle Dogs: Place a cooked hot dog inside each toasted bun, and then top with a slice of cheddar cheese.
Step 6
Crumble the crispy bacon over the cheese and add a pickle spear to each hot dog.
Step 7
Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the assembled Whistle Dogs to taste.
Step 8
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your A&W-inspired Whistle Dog!
