A fun and indulgent mash-up of a cheese dog and pizza, featuring a hot dog in a soft bun topped with pizza sauce, melted mozzarella, pepperoni (optional), and Italian herbs—a playful twist perfect for parties or quick meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 4 cooked hot dogs
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 12–16 slices pepperoni (optional)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place hot dogs inside buns and arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce over each hot dog.
  4. Top with a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese and add 3–4 pepperoni slices per bun if using.
  5. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder evenly over the cheese.
  6. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Switch to broil for 1–2 minutes if desired, until cheese edges are lightly golden—watch closely to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use turkey or veggie dogs for lighter or vegetarian versions.
  • Swap pizza sauce with marinara or marinara infused with chili flakes for heat.
  • Customize with additional toppings like diced bell peppers, onions, or jalapeños before baking.
  • Make it a condiment bar—serve with extra pizza sauce, ketchup, mustard, or ranch dip.
  • Assemble ahead and bake right before serving; leftovers can be reheated in oven for crispiness.
