Chili Cheese Dogs
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian (variation mentioned)
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 all-beef hot dogs
- 8 hot dog buns
- 1 can (15 oz) chili (with or without beans, based on preference)
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Optional: diced white onions
- Optional: sliced jalapeños
- Optional: yellow mustard
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat or use a large skillet on the stovetop. Cook the hot dogs for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have slight char marks on the outside.
- While the hot dogs are cooking, pour the chili into a small saucepan. Heat it over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is bubbling and hot. Keep it on low heat until you are ready to assemble.
- Open the hot dog buns and place them face-down on the grill or skillet for about 30 to 60 seconds. Toasting the buns adds a nice crunch and prevents them from getting soggy once the chili is added.
- Place one cooked hot dog into each toasted bun. Use a spoon to generously ladle the warm chili over the center of each hot dog.
- Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot chili so that it begins to melt. Add your choice of optional toppings like diced onions, jalapeños, or a drizzle of mustard. Serve immediately while hot.
