Oven-Baked Cheeseburger Dogs bring juicy, beefy richness and melty Cheddar to soft, toasted buns with crisped edges. Pickles and diced red onion add a bright, tangy crunch that balances the savory meat and cheese. Serve for game day, family dinners, or whenever you crave cookout flavors without firing up the grill.

1

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.
2

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.
3

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.
4

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).

Serve right away with classic burger and hot dog toppings and condiments.
