Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bacon, cheddar cheese, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Carefully shape each portion around a hot dog, creating a corn dog shape.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and milk until smooth.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
Cooking
  1. Dip each corn dog into the batter, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
  2. Gently place the corn dogs in the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with extra ketchup and mustard for dipping.

Notes

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to retain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
