Summer is just getting started over here and I’m not done bringing you delicious summertime content.
Hot dogs are some of our favorite grilling foods and while we love a classic hot dog with ketchup and mustard, what we really love is putting our own unique spin on them.
Whether it’s topping them with chili and cheese, topping them with pineapple cucumber salsa or stuffing them with jalapeños and grilled cheese bread, we’re always up to something.
We’re over here living summer to the fullest. Spending our days in the pool, soaking up the sun and dining al fresco. To us, that is what summer is all about:, bringing the fun outdoors.
Which also means; bringing the food outdoors too.
Between the neighborhood, there are always plenty of mouths to feed but sometimes we want something more than just a classic hot dog with ketchup and mustard and that’s when I make these Jalapeño Bacon Grilled Cheese Hot Dogs.
Summer is busy y’all, but it doesn’t have to be stressful. Thanks to Walmart Online Grocery Pickup, you can order your groceries online and head to the store and pick them up. No more running to the store, kids in tow and forgetting half of your list because you’re in a rush.
Which means you’re only a short grilling session away from these Jalapeño Bacon Grilled Cheese Hot Dogs and believe me, you’ll want them ASAP.
The combination of jalapeños, bacon and American cheese is one to send your mouth singing. It’s the perfect combination of spicy, smoky and cheesy.
We also brought those three components to our Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. With the leftover jalapeños and bacon, we quickly sautéed them in a pan and added them to our prepared macaroni and cheese. Now you have jalapeño bacon mac and cheese, and I highly suggest you serve it alongside these Jalapeño Bacon Grilled Cheese Hot Dogs.
We also love to serve up a refreshingly delicious drink like Country Time Lemonade. Now who doesn’t love a sweet and tart drink in the summer time to cool us down?.
These Jalapeño Bacon Grilled Cheese Hot Dogs are spicy, smoky and cheesy, just the way they should be!

Ingredients
- Oscar Mayer Classic Wieners 10 ct Pack (use 8 for this recipe)
- 2-3 jalapeño peppers, sliced and then cut in half
- 8 slices Oscar Mayer Bacon 16 oz. Package
- 8 Brownberry Country Sliced Hot Dog Buns
- 8 slices Kraft Singles American 24 ct Cheese Slices, 16 oz
- 4 tablespoons Heinz Real Mayonnaise 30 fl. oz. Jar
Instructions
- Insert a skewer into the bottom portion of your hot dog, pushing all the way through. This is so when you create the “hasselback” you won’t cut through the entire hot dog.
- Cut slits into the hot dog (about 8-9) and place a jalapeño slice into each slot.
- Wrap entire hot dog in bacon and secure with a toothpick on each end.
- Place onto the grill and cook until bacon is browned and slightly crispy. Remove and place onto plate.
- Smear mayonnaise onto the outside of the bun, edge to edge. Place mayonnaise side down, on the grill, and top inside of bun with a slice of American cheese. Remove from grill when melted, being careful not to burn the bun.
- Place jalapeño bacon wrapped hot dogs into the grilled cheese bread and serve.
- Top with Heinz mustard and ketchup, if desired.

Pro Tip: Using mayonnaise on the outside of your bun creates a crispy and crunchy texture. We also love to do this when we make grilled cheese, opting for mayonnaise over butter.
Cooks Tip: You could also fill the hasselback hot dogs with jalapeños and American cheese to create an extra cheesy hot dog. Serving these to kids who don’t like spicy? Omit the jalapeño to create a cheese dog.
