Description

These Cheese Dog Pizza Sandwiches are a delightful fusion of classic hot dogs and cheesy pizza flavors, ideal for a quick and satisfying meal. Each bun is spread with savory marinara sauce, layered with a hot dog, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, then baked to bubbly perfection with a buttery topping.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sandwiches

  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 4 hot dogs
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sandwiches.
  2. Spread marinara sauce: Evenly spread the marinara sauce on the inside of each hot dog bun for a flavorful base.
  3. Assemble hot dogs: Place one hot dog inside each sauced bun to start the sandwich layers.
  4. Add mozzarella cheese: Top each hot dog with two slices of mozzarella to ensure a cheesy texture.
  5. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese: Distribute grated Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella for an extra flavor boost.
  6. Prepare baking sheet: Arrange the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet, ready for baking.
  7. Melt butter: In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter over low heat.
  8. Brush butter: Lightly brush the melted butter over the tops of the buns for a golden finish.
  9. Cover with foil: Loosely cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil to prevent drying out during initial baking.
  10. Bake with foil: Bake the covered sandwiches in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to let the ingredients meld and cheese start melting.
  11. Uncover and finish baking: Remove the foil and continue baking for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  12. Serve hot: Remove the sandwiches from the oven, let them cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy your cheesy, savory treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute any type of sausage or hot dog you prefer.
  • For a spicier kick, add pepper flakes to the marinara sauce.
  • Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture if available.
  • Brush buns with garlic butter instead of plain butter for extra flavor.
  • Serve with a side of salad or chips for a complete meal.
