Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
  2. Divide the beef mixture into eight equal portions. Wrap each portion around a hot dog, ensuring it covers the dog completely. Top with a slice of American cheese and secure it with a wooden skewer.
Making the Batter
  1. In another bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, and baking powder. Gradually add in the milk, mixing until a thicker batter forms.
Frying
  1. Dip each prepared hot dog into the batter, fully coating it.
  2. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Carefully lower each corn dog into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
  4. Remove with a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels.
Serving
  1. Serve hot with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauces!

Notes

These corn dogs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. They freeze well for up to two months; reheat in the oven for optimal crispiness. Try using turkey or plant-based options for a lighter meal.
