Ingredients
- 4 hot dogs
- 8 slices of bacon
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your choice)

Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Make a lengthwise cut down the center of each hot dog, creating a pocket for the cheese.
- Insert one slice of cheese into each hot dog pocket.
- Wrap each hot dog tightly with 2 slices of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if needed.
- Place the bacon-wrapped hot dogs on the grill, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted (about 8-10 minutes).
- While the hot dogs are cooking, sauté the diced onions in a separate pan until they are caramelized and golden brown.
- Once the bacon-wrapped hot dogs are done, remove them from the grill and let them cool slightly.
- Serve the hot dogs on buns, topped with the caramelized onions.
- Enjoy your bacon-wrapped cheese-stuffed hot dogs!
