Game Day Jalapeño Cheddar Bacon Dogs

You guys. These dogs. You have to make these dogs. They are A-MAZING! I know I say that about a lot of things. But these really are the best game day dogs of all time. You just have to try them.

Bacon wrapped all beef dogs are roasted or grilled to crispy awesomeness. The buns are buttered and toasted ever so briefly. Then, they're topped with sharp cheddar, jalapeños, and crispy fried onions. Can I get a "game on?"

Since most of the country is under heavy snow I made these glorious dogs by roasting and toasting in my handy dandy oven. All you's guys out here in California, feel free to use your grills. Ha!

Start by wrapping each wiener in a slice of bacon securing with toothpicks on either end. I load them onto a foil-lined baking sheet for easy clean up.

Roast 'em for about 45 minutes checking and turning every 15 minutes or so. Then, set them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.

During the last 5 minutes of roasting, you can slide in another pan of face down buttered buns to toast up to perfection.
