Great easy and fun sandwich! I used a sourdough bread loaf and it was really great with the hotdogs, bacon, and cheese. I put onions on half and left half without. Enjoyed this - thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is a really great sandwich! My whole family loved it and my 15 year old came in and said it was great and asked it there was anymore...That's saying something! I used turkey bacon, onion buns, onions, light Oscar Mayer beef franks, and 2% cheeses and mustard. Wonderful and lower in fat! Thanks, we will make this again!

Mmmmmm... DH said I can make this anytime! I used kaiser rolls and organic all-beef hot dogs and cut the hot dogs both in half length and width-wise. I don't like onions and am lactose intolerant so I just had mine with bacon and hot dogs and toasted bread and it was still really yummy! DH had all the fixings and ate two huge sandwiches

This was awesome!! Used some nice wheat bread instead of rye. Just saw something like this on a Food Network TV show also being served in some diner — looked great there too Will make again! Easy to tweak with whatever cheese and bread one has on hand.
