Optional Toppings: sliced jalapenos, mustard, onions, tomatoes, chopped deli pickle

Directions:
1. Place hot dogs in simmering water to plump and heat through. Can be grilled too if you like them crispy.

2. Fry bacon in a skillet. Set out to drain.

3.While the dogs heat, place a pot over medium heat. Melt butter then add peppers and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to liking. Cook 2-3 minutes then sprinkle with flour and cook for 1 more minute. Whisk in milk and let thicken. Melt in cheeses, stir constantly. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

4. Put dogs in bun add a slice of bacon. Top with cheese sauce and optional other toppings!!

This meal was way too good to be true. I toasted my buns in the oven under the broiler for the extra crisp. Also don't be in a rush to add the cheese to the milk mixture. The milk needs to thicken. Mine was a little running but all tasted the same going down!!
