Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Caramelize Onions: In a skillet over medium-low heat, cook sliced onions with a little oil and salt for 15–20 minutes, stirring until golden and soft.
Char Jalapeños: In the same or another skillet, cook jalapeño rounds until blistered and charred, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Wrap & Cook Franks: Wrap each frank in 1–2 strips of bacon. Grill or pan-cook over medium heat, turning frequently until bacon is crisp and franks are hot.
Toast Buns: Toast buns on a grill or skillet until lightly golden.
Assemble Dogs: Spread cream cheese inside each bun. Add the bacon-wrapped frank. Top with caramelized onions and jalapeños. Sprinkle with garlic pepper to finish.
Serve: Enjoy hot, optionally with fries, chips, or coleslaw on the side.

Notes

For extra heat, add hot sauce or spicy mustard. For a vegetarian version, try plant-based sausages and dairy-free cream cheese. These hot dogs are great for tailgates and backyard BBQs.
