Juicy Lucy Hotdogs (Beef & Cheese Sticks Recipe)
Sausage mince wrapped around mozzarella sticks, skewered and cooked over indirect heat for a cheese-filled hotdog. Kids love these.
Ingredients
- 500g sausage mince
- 200g mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Method
Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage mince, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.
Wrap the Cheese Sticks: Take a mozzarella cheese stick and wrap it with the sausage mixture, ensuring it is completely covered. Repeat this process for all the cheese sticks, forming even "meat sticks."
Preheat the BBQ: Fire up your BBQ using Heat Beads Briquettes (Blue Bag) and set it up for indirect heat. Aim for a temperature of 175°C-200°C (350°F-392°F).
Cook the Meat & Cheese Sticks: Place the meat-covered cheese sticks on a grill-safe tray. Cook them indirectly for 15-20 minutes, ensuring they cook through evenly.
Add a Sear: Move the meat sticks to the hotter side of the grill for a quick sear, turning them to achieve a crispy, golden-brown exterior.
Assemble the Hot Dogs: Remove the cooked cheese-stuffed meat sticks from the grill and let them cool slightly. Place each "Juicy Lucy" into a hot dog roll, then top with your favorite condiments and garnishes.
Serve: Serve these smoky, cheesy hot dogs immediately. They're guaranteed to be the star of your next BBQ party!
