# How to Make It:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, blend ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly combined. Divide into four equal portions and press each into a flat patty.
02 -
Scatter chopped turkey bacon and shredded cheddar cheese over each beef patty. Encase the filling by folding and shaping the meat tightly around each skewer into a sausage-like form, sealing edges securely.
03 -
Arrange the prepared skewers on a tray and freeze for 20 minutes to firm up the meat and maintain shape during frying.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and egg, blending until a smooth and thick batter forms.
05 -
Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or large pot and preheat to 350°F (177°C). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the skewers.
06 -
Dip each chilled cheeseburger skewer into the batter, evenly coating the surface. Lower the coated skewers gently into the hot oil and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning as needed, until golden brown and fully cooked.
07 -
Remove the corn dogs from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Freezing the assembled skewers before battering prevents them from breaking apart during frying.
