- Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over low heat; soak toothpicks in water 20 minutes. In medium bowl, stir cream cheese, chopped jalapeño, Cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Makes about 1 cup cream cheese mixture.
- Wrap each hot dog with 1 slice bacon, securing ends with toothpicks; spray with cooking spray. Transfer cream cheese mixture to small zip-top plastic bag; snip bottom corner with kitchen scissors and pipe into buns.
- Place hot dogs on hot grill rack; cover and cook 12 minutes or until bacon is crisp, turning 1/4 turn every 3 minutes. About 3 minutes before hot dogs are done, place buns, cut side up, on hot grill rack; cover and cook 3 minutes or until grill marks appear.
- Remove toothpicks from hot dogs; serve in buns topped with tomato, remaining sliced jalapeño and onions, if desired. Makes 8 hot dogs.
