Step 1
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Add the 4 hot dog sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have grill marks, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 2
While the sausages cook, open the 4 hot dog buns and place them on a baking sheet. Toast them in a toaster oven or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Step 3
Place the cooked sausages into the toasted buns. Immediately top each with 1 oz of cheddar cheese slices.
Step 4
Return the assembled hot dogs to the warm grill or a baking sheet and cover with a lid or foil for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and gooey.
Step 5
Serve hot, with your favorite condiments like ketchup, mustard, or relish if desired.
