Hotdog lovers will love these keto low carb pigs in a blanket that we call ‘The Cheese Dog’! These full-size pigs in a blanket cheese dogs will have you feeling full and satisfied!
Who doesn’t love hot dogs? Ok, I’m sure there’re people out there, but I’m definitely not one of them!
Growing up in the US, hot dogs were a way of life! At school, parties, barbecues, there’s always hot dogs being served.
But after going low carb for the past few years, it’s been a sad transition to have to only eat the hot dog without the bun.
Recently, my two year old son has become obsessed with hot dogs. Every time I ask him what he wants to eat, it’s “hot dogs”!
When he wakes up, his first words are “hot dog”. So, I’ve recently always had them in my fridge.
This is how I became inspired to make a low-carb/keto pigs in a blanket or what we call the cheese dog because, well, the dough is mainly made out of cheese!
This means that it is much more flavorful than the original recipe. Winning!
For the hot dogs, I prefer uncured grass-fed all beef polish sausages that are nitrate-free but any type of hot dog or polish type sausage can be used for this recipe.
That paired with some Sugar Free Ketchup as a dipping sauce is just ‘get in my belly’!
For this recipe, the special ingredients you would need is Almond Flour, optional Toasted Sesame Seed and optional Sugar Free Ketchup, which can be purchased on Amazon or a local specialty supermarket.
Now if you’re ready, let’s get going!
