Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Hot Dogs
These loaded air fryer hot dogs are wrapped in bacon and stuffed with melty mozzarella and goat cheese, then topped with sweet caramelized onion — a gourmet twist on the classic dog. The air fryer crisps the bacon while everything inside goes gooey.
Serve them on toasted bread or buns. They're indulgent, a little fancy, and ready in about 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Instructions
Stuff & wrap
Slice each sausage lengthwise (not all the way through) and tuck in a slice of mozzarella and some goat cheese. Wrap each in a slice of bacon.
Air fry
Line the basket with bread or parchment, add the wrapped sausages, and air fry at 360°F for about 10–12 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is melted.
Serve
Top with caramelized onion and serve on toasted bread or buns.
- Secure the bacon with toothpicks so it doesn't unravel.
- Don't cut all the way through the sausage so the cheese stays in.
- Make the caramelized onion ahead to save time.
