📋 Ingredients:
- 🌭 8 hot dogs
- 🍞 8 slices of sandwich bread
- 🧀 8 slices of American or cheddar cheese

📝 Directions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Trim the crusts off the slices of bread. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until it’s thin and pliable.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups:
- Place a slice of cheese on each piece of flattened bread.
- Place a hot dog at one end of the bread and cheese slice, then roll up tightly. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
- Brush with Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the garlic powder (if using).
- Brush the outside of each roll-up with the melted butter mixture.
- Bake:
- Place the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
- Remove the roll-ups from the oven and let them cool slightly. Remove the toothpicks (if used).
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve with your favorite condiments like ketchup, mustard, or relish.

💡 Notes:
- You can customize the roll-ups by adding a thin layer of condiments like mustard or mayo inside the bread before adding the cheese and hot dog.
- For a spicier version, try adding a slice of jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce to each roll-up.
- These roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated in a toaster oven or microwave.
