Description
This ‘burger dog’ is far more than a hot dog-shaped cheeseburger. It’s a one-handed wonder that’s perfectly proportioned and easier to eat than a regular cheeseburger.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 extra-long hot dog buns
- 4 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
Instructions
- 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.
