For an extra layer of flavor, try brushing the bacon-wrapped hot dog with a touch of maple syrup before baking. Experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or provolone. If you prefer a smoky flavor, consider using smoked bacon. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cheese filling. These can also be cooked on a grill. Place on indirect heat and cook until bacon is crisp.
