Ingredients

• 4 soft sandwich rolls
• 4 hot dogs

• ½ cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Cheesy Hot Dog Sandwich

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux.
3. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
5. In a separate skillet, cook the hot dogs over medium heat until heated through and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Slice each sandwich roll open, but not all the way through, and place a hot dog inside each roll.
7. Pour the cheesy sauce generously over each hot dog, allowing it to ooze into the rolls.
8. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, just until the rolls are warm and slightly toasted.
9. While the sandwiches are baking, mix the sesame oil with the sesame seeds in a small bowl.
10. Remove the sandwiches from the oven and drizzle the sesame mixture over the top. Serve warm.

Tips for the Best Results

• For an extra cheesy experience, feel free to mix different types of cheese in the sauce.
• Ensure not to overcook the cheese sauce; keep it on low heat once the cheese is added.
• You can lightly toast the sandwich rolls before adding the hot dogs for added crunch.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Add sautéed onions or jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
• Use turkey or veggie hot dogs for a healthier option.
• Experiment with different sauces, such as barbecue or mustard, for additional flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy potato chips or fries for a classic pairing.
• A fresh green salad to balance the richness.
• Pickles or coleslaw for a crunchy side.
• Grilled corn on the cob for a summertime vibe.
