“My Mom would make these for us when we were kids. And when I had kids, I continued the tradition.” – Calla Ferre
“Getting the cheese to stay put in these is always a challenge, but even if it doesn’t these are still really tasty. I grew up eating these with a knife and fork, it never dawned on me to put them in a hot dog bun until I was searching the internet for tips on keeping the cheese stuffed inside. Sweet-Hot mustard goes great with the salty bacon!” – April Ferre
