Ingredients

  • 4 hot dogs
  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 12 dill pickle slices (3 per hot dog)
  • ½ cup diced white onion
  • Optional: butter or oil for toasting buns

Directions

  1. Preheat one side of your Blackstone to medium heat, leaving one side of the griddle off or on very low for warming.
  2. Cook the bacon until crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. Using a hot dog scoring tool or a sharp knife, score each hot dog with a double crosshatch pattern on all sides.
  4. Place the hot dogs on the hot griddle and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, rolling occasionally until evenly browned and heated through.
  5. Toast the hot dog buns cut side down until lightly golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Move the toasted buns to the cooler side of the griddle or a warming rack.
  6. Place one hot dog into each toasted bun.
  7. Top each hot dog with one slice of crispy bacon, three pickle slices, one slice of cheddar, and a generous sprinkle of diced onions.
  8. Leave the hot dogs on the cooler side of the griddle just long enough for the cheese to soften slightly, then serve immediately.
