Notes
The prep time includes toasting the buns, assembling the hot dogs, and preheating the air fryer.
Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the make and model of your air fryer, so keep an eye on the hot dogs to avoid overcooking.
Adjust the timing as necessary to ensure the hot dogs are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Feel free to customize the toppings according to your preference. You can add diced onions, diced tomatoes, pickles, relish, sauerkraut, or any other toppings you enjoy on your hot dogs.
If you prefer a softer bun, you can skip toasting them in the air fryer or reduce the toasting time.
Add a sprinkle of dried oregano or Italian seasoning to the tomato sauce for extra flavor.
For a spicy kick, you can use spicy hot dogs or add a drizzle of hot sauce on top of the assembled hot dogs.
Serve the hot dogs with a side of crispy French fries or a fresh green salad.
You can also serve the hot dogs with a side of coleslaw or baked beans for a complete meal.
