Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Onion Crunch Dogs

Ingredients:

1 tsp ketchup

1 tsp Dijon mustard

4 large hot dogs, knockwurst, or kielbasa

1/2 ounce cheddar cheese, cut into long sticks

2 Tbsp Onion Crunch

1 cup refrigerated sauerkraut, drained, roughly chopped

4 slices bacon

Vegetable oil

4 long hot dog buns

Directions:

1. Prepare your grill for direct medium high heat.

2. Mix together ketchup and mustard in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the sauerkraut with the ONION CRUNCH, set aside. Slice open the hot dogs, down the center, lengthwise, forming a deep pocket in each, but not cutting all the way through. Coat the inside of each hot dog with the mustard ketchup mixture.

3. Place a strip of cheese deep within the pocket of each hot dog. Top with sauerkraut and onions. Encapsulate the cheese at the ends with the sauerkraut mixture as well, so that no cheese is exposed (otherwise it will drip out when cooking).

4. Wrap a strip of bacon around each stuffed hot dog, securing with toothpicks at each end.

5. Coat your grill surface with vegetable oil. Place the stuffed hot dogs on the grill, stuffing side down. Grill for 2 minutes, until the bacon on one side is cooked, turn the hot dogs a quarter turn and continue cooking until bacon is done.

6. Remove toothpicks place in toasted buns and serve.
