Bun

Method

Prepare the Chili

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef and Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Seasonings and Ingredients

    Stir in the chili powder, canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Chili

    Reduce the heat to low and allow the chili to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Prepare the Buns

  1. 4

    Butter the Buns

    While the chili is simmering, melt the butter in a small bowl. Brush the melted butter onto the inside of each hot dog bun.

  2. 5

    Toast the Buns

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the buttered buns inside, cut side down. Toast them until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Assemble the Chili Cheese Dogs

  1. 6

    Fill the Buns

    Once the chili is ready, spoon a generous amount of chili into each toasted hot dog bun.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili, followed by chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream.
