Assemble all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a large 15x10-inch casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of melted butter or oil.

Place the beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, red onion, pickles, and 4 ounces of shredded cheese in a bowl, and mix with a fork until evenly combined.

Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions. With damp fingers, shape 1 portion into a log and gently press it onto the bottom of a hot dog bun. Lightly press the bun together to enclose the meat, and set the stuffed bun in the baking dish with the meat facing straight up. Repeat with the remaining portions until all 8 buns are stuffed.

Brush all exposed parts of the buns with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter or oil, then sprinkle the remaining 2 ounces of cheese over the top.
- 5
Bake in the preheated oven until the meat is no longer pink in the center and the buns are golden brown and crisp at the edges, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should register 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
