Cheesy Corn Dog Sandwiches

This Corn Dog Grilled Cheese is Covered in Crushed Nacho Chips Too

— November 4, 2014 — Lifestyle
This corn dog grilled cheese is another epic food concoction from The Vulgar Chef. In addition to combining a grilled cheese sandwich with corn dogs, the whole thing is also encrusted with Doritos. The Doritos Crusted Corn Dog Grilled Cheese is made out of cheese, corn dogs, nacho chips and bread. The Doritos were added using a simple egg wash, but butter could potentially work as well. Instead of nacho chips, you could also try substituting ramen noodles if you want to go "real next level." The whole thing is open to a lot of customization should you wish to try your own at home.

The Vulgar Chef -- also known as Kyle Marcoux -- suggests dipping the cheesy and ridiculously unhealthy sandwich in ketchup (it's added vegetable content).
