Instructions

01Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
02Remove the Boar's Head_® Uncured Beef Frankfurters from the package and place individual franks on the preheated grill. Grill to your desired preference, approximately 4–5 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even browning and light caramelization.
03While the frankfurters grill, prepare the bacon according to your preference.
04Lightly place the hot dog buns on the grill for 1–2 minutes, cut-side down, until warmed and lightly toasted.
05Spread approximately ½ teaspoon of BBQ sauce on both the bottom and top sides of each toasted bun, creating a flavor base.
06Place one slice of the warm, crispy bacon on the bottom half of each bun.
07Place each grilled Boar's Head_® Uncured Beef Frankfurter on top of the bacon.
08Generously top each frank with approximately ⅛ cup of shredded Boar's Head_® Vermont Cheddar Cheese, allowing the residual heat to soften and warm the cheese.
09Sprinkle each hot dog with fresh chopped green onions and serve immediately.
