Cheese Frankfurters

Molly53's Note:

So easy, so fast, and so tasty. You'll do better with this recipe using real cheese, not cheese food product. From the Wisconsin Dutch chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.

Holy Cow! My mom used to make this all the time when I was a kid. I just love these and will start to make them again as my "comfort food". Thanks for reminding me.

Made last night for National Hot Dog Month. Had some trouble with turning the dogs to crisp the bacon with the toothpicks. A very good recipe and easy!
