Ingredients
  

4 hot dogs

8 slices of bread (your choice, such as white, whole grain, or sourdough)

8 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or a mix)

1/4 cup butter, softened

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

1 cup shredded lettuce (for topping)

1/2 cup diced tomatoes (for topping)

Ketchup and mustard (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.

    Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.

      On the unbuttered side of four slices of bread, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder and layer with two slices of cheese each. Place a hot dog on top of the cheese.

        Top each hot dog with another slice of cheese, then close it with another slice of buttered bread, butter side up.

          Repeat this process for all four sandwiches.

            Carefully place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

              Once done, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Cut each sandwich diagonally in half to reveal the melty hot dog inside.

                Sprinkle chopped parsley on top of each sandwich for an added touch.

                  Serve the grilled cheese hot dogs on a plate, topped with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. Add ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping if desired.
