Grilled Cheese Dogs for your July 4th

 If you are a fan of cheese and a fan of hot dogs, you will love these for the July 4th Celebration party.

INGREDIENTS

4 hot dog buns

2 tbsp. butter, softened

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. onion powder

4 hot dogs, split lengthwise (be careful not to cut all the way through)

3 c. shredded cheddar

4 Green onions, sliced

Flatten your hot dog buns with a roller pin. In a shallow bowl, mix oil, garlic powder and onion powder. Spread the buns all over the outside.

In a large frying pan, sear hot dogs a few at a time, until charred, 2 minutes per side. Put them aside.

Put the bun buttered-side down in the skillet and cover with 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese,  and a hot dog, and 1/4 of the green onion.

Cover and cook over medium heat till the cheese is melted, then use the spatula to close the bun. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a total of 4 cheese dogs.
