Ingredients

• ½ cup barbecue sauce
• 2 cups potato chips
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Loaded Cheesy Hot Dog

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.
2. While the grill is heating, lightly toss the potato chips in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
3. Grill the hot dogs for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and heated through.
4. Once the hot dogs are almost done, place the shredded cheddar cheese on top of each hot dog and close the grill lid to melt the cheese for about 1-2 minutes.
5. While the cheese is melting, pop the baking sheet with the potato chips in the oven at 375°F for 5-7 minutes to crisp them up further.
6. Remove the hot dogs and potato chips from the grill and oven, respectively. Place each cheesy hot dog into a sesame seed bun.
7. Drizzle the hot dogs with barbecue sauce and serve alongside the crispy potato chips.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use high-quality hot dogs for the best flavor.
• For extra flavor, consider toasting the buns on the grill for a minute or two.
• Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or smoked gouda for a unique twist.
• If you like spice, add jalapeños or sriracha to your barbecue sauce.

Easy Variations

• Swap out hot dogs for bratwursts or sausage for a heartier option.
• Try different toppings like diced onions, chopped pickles, or coleslaw for added crunch.
• Use flavored barbecue sauces like honey BBQ or spicy chipotle to change the flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch.
• Grilled corn on the cob for a classic barbecue side.
• A fresh garden salad to balance the richness of the hot dogs.
• Pickle spears for an extra tangy bite.
