Vincent Price's Horror Dogs

Although Vincent Price was most well known for his frightening horror movie roles in the 1950s, he and his wife were also serious cooks and gourmets, writing cookbooks on the side. This recipe is aptly called "horror dogs," after the theatrical persuasion of their creator.

  • Large thick hot dogs or some sort of cooked sausage.
  • 1 block of extra sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 onion

Instructions

  • Wrap dog/sausage in bacon, holding in place with toothpicks.
