The Columbia River Gorge is where I reside. Because so many cherries are produced in a short period of time, producers sell pounds of the fruit during cherry harvest. There’s just so much cherry pie and ice cream one man can consume, so I came up with a savory recipe!

Made this recipe today. This is a keeper for sure. I used colbyjack cheese and farmland bacon. I brushed BBQ sauce on very light to seal in the juices. We will most definitely make these again.
We really loved these hotdogs – the bacon and cheese with a little tang from the mustard work great together!
I saw a picture on Facebook made this without ever seeing this recipe. The only differences is I didn’t add mustard or pickles. Plus I put it in the oven at 350 for 15 min.
Excellent!! I smeared the mustard on the bun. If your gonna take the time to wrap a dog with bacon, use high quality and you won’t be disappointed:) Delish!! Thank You Sandra 92083:) Keeper!
