- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 teaspoons Ketchup

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wrap one strip of bacon around each hot dog, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon-wrapped hot dogs until the bacon is crispy and the hot dogs are heated through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Place one slice of cheddar cheese inside each toasted bun.
Step 6
Add the cooked bacon-wrapped hot dogs to the buns. Top each with one pickle spear.
Step 7
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of ketchup and 1 teaspoon of mustard over each hot dog for added flavor.

Carefully remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious whistle dogs!
