Madison Dog

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Make one 1/2-inch slit lengthwise down the side of each hot dog. Fill each slit with 1 ounce of grated cheddar cheese.

3. 3

   Wrap three slices of blanched bacon tightly around each cheese-stuffed hot dog.

4. 4

   Place the wrapped hot dogs on the hot griddle. Weigh down each hot dog using a waffle iron or heavy pan.

5. 5

   Remove the weight every 2 to 3 minutes to turn the hot dog. Continue until all four sides are seared, about 8 to 10 minutes total.

6. 6

   Spread mustard and relish on each bun. Place the Madison Dog in the bun and serve.
