A cheese dog is a hot dog served with cheese or processed cheese on it or stuffed within it, as a filling.[1]
Cheese types
[edit]In the United States, sliced or grated cheese, such as cheddar or American cheese,[2] is commonly used, often served melted on the hot dogs. The use of other types of cheese also occurs, such as cream cheese[3] and Swiss cheese.[4][5][6] The cheese may be on the bun, on the wiener, processed inside the hot dog, or placed in the middle of a hot dog that has been sliced in half.[7]
Bread types
[edit]Traditional hot dog buns are typically used. Slices of toast are also used sometimes, or just plain bread.
Variations
[edit]Coney dog
[edit]Cheeses are also often served on chili dogs or Coney Island hot dogs. An example includes the Cincinnati Cheese Coney which uses shredded cheddar cheese.[8][9]

In Chicago there is a variation of the danger dog called the Francheezie. Typically found at "greasy spoon" restaurants, it consists of a jumbo hot dog split in the middle and filled with Cheddar cheese (or Velveeta). It is wrapped in bacon and deep-fried, then served on a toasted bun.[10][11]
Macaroni and cheese dog
[edit]Another variation is a hot dog topped with macaroni and cheese.[12][13]
Reuben dog
[edit]A reuben dog can consist of a hot dog topped with ingredient combinations such as corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing.[7]
Seattle dog
[edit]A Seattle-style hot dog, sometimes referred to as a "Seattle Dog,"[14] is a hot dog topped with cream cheese that has become popular in Seattle, Washington.[15][16]
Swiss-style cheese dogs
[edit]A Swiss schnauzer is a regional variation consisting of a bratwurst served with Swiss cheese and sauerkraut. In San Diego, California, a Swiss-style hot dog called a "Swiener" is prepared with a hot dog and Raclette cheese stuffed inside of hollowed-out baguette bread.[17]
Texas Tommy
[edit]A Texas Tommy is prepared with bacon and cheese.[18]
