Grilled Cheese Stuffed Burger Dogs Recipes

ALL-AMERICAN BURGER DOG

Steps:

• Place half the ground beef on a sheet of plastic wrap. Pat it into a rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick, 8 1/2 inches long, and 4 inches wide. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the beef into a log, using the plastic wrap as a guide. Season with more salt and pepper. Wrap the plastic tightly around the log and twist both ends tight. Pat gently to slightly flatten. Repeat with remaining ground beef.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the burger dogs from the plastic wrap and place on the grill, perpendicular to the grates. Cook until burgers are browned but still pink inside, 4 to 5 minutes, flip, and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Place a slice of cheese on each burger dog and grill to medium doneness (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F/60 degrees C). Remove and rest 3 to 4 minutes.
• Toast hot dog buns on the grill and spread each with 2 teaspoons mayonnaise. Place burger dog on each bun and squirt 1 tablespoon of ketchup on top.

GRILLED CHEESE STUFFED BURGER DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to 375 degrees.
• Divide the ground beef into fourths. Roll 1/4 pound of meat into a ball then press the meat onto a sheet of waxed paper or another non-stick surface. Shape the flattened ground beef into a rectangle then sprinkle salt and pepper over the meat.
• Place one cheese stick on the edge of the beef square then roll the meat over the cheese stick. Press the meat around all edges of the cheese until it is completely covered by ground beef.
• Once the grill has reached a temperature of at least 375* degrees place the Cheese Stuffed Burger Dogs onto the hot grill. Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes before rotating the burger dogs to cook an additional 5 minutes. Turn them two more times to create grill marks on all sides and for a total cook time of 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes on the grill the cheese should begin to seep out of the ends of the burger dogs and the juices should be dripping clear. An additional minute or two may be needed. (Or for those who prefer a more rare hamburger a minute less on each grill rotation should do the trick.)
• Remove the burger dogs from the grill and serve immediately with hog dog buns and your favorite condiments.

CHEESE-STUFFED BURGER DOGS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Slice the cheese into sticks (about the size of string cheese). Season the ground beef with salt and pepper (or your favorite seasoning mix) and split it up into 5 to 6 palm-sized balls (you may want to do five and keep a bit of excess ground beef for an omelet or a slider the next day). Flatten each ball out into a rectangle and place a cheese stick towards the bottom. Roll it up, making sure that the ground beef is evenly concealing the cheese stick. Place the soon-to-be burger dogs on a hot grill. Grill for 6 to 10 minutes, turning the dogs when charred grill marks appear on a side. You'll need to do 3 to 4 turns (or more) to make sure you have even cooking around each dog. Burgers should be done when some cheese starts oozing out along with meat juice.
