Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2️⃣ Wrap the hot dogs: Take each hot dog and wrap a slice of bacon around it tightly. Secure with toothpicks to keep the bacon in place.
3️⃣ Prepare for baking: Arrange the bacon-wrapped hot dogs on a foil-lined baking sheet for easy cleanup.
4️⃣ Add BBQ sauce: Drizzle BBQ sauce generously over the bacon-wrapped hot dogs. If you like it spicy, sprinkle black pepper on top.
5️⃣ Bake until crispy: Place the hot dogs in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
6️⃣ Add cheese: Five minutes before the hot dogs are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheese over each one.
7️⃣ Melt the cheese: Return the hot dogs to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8️⃣ Serve and enjoy: Allow the hot dogs to cool for a few minutes, remove the toothpicks, and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
