# Ingredients:

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 1/2 cup cooked, chopped bacon
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
06 - Salt to taste
07 - Pepper to taste

10 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
11 - 1 cup buttermilk
12 - 1 egg

→ For assembly and frying

13 - 8 hot dogs or sausage links
14 - Vegetable oil, for frying

# Steps:

01 - Combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped bacon in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and stir to distribute the flavors evenly.
02 - In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C), maintaining the temperature to ensure a golden crust.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, buttermilk, and egg until smooth and lump-free.
04 - Skewer each hot dog or sausage link with a wooden stick. Coat them evenly with the prepared bacon cheeseburger mixture.
05 - One by one, dip the coated hot dogs into the corn dog batter, ensuring complete coverage. Carefully lower them into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
06 - Remove the fried corn dogs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, or ranch.

# Notes and Tips:

01 - Pairs perfectly with dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, ranch, or barbecue sauce. For a complete meal, serve with fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
