Step

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 350°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

  • 2

    Using a sharp knife on a cutting board, slice the cheese into eight long strips. Slice the hot dogs lengthwise, leaving a "hinge" on one side, and tuck a piece of cheese into each.

  • 3

    Wrap a slice of bacon in a spiral fashion around each hot dog and secure with toothpicks.

  • 4

    Place the bacon-wrapped hot dogs directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bacon has crisped up.

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C
