Bun

Method

Prepare the Chili

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Spices and Tomatoes

    Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute before adding the diced tomatoes and kidney beans.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Pour in the water, stir well, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Prepare the Buns

  1. 5

    Butter the Buns

    While the chili is simmering, spread the unsalted butter on the inside of each hot dog bun.

  2. 6

    Toast the Buns

    In a separate skillet, toast the buttered buns over medium heat until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Assemble the Chili Cheese Dogs

  1. 7

    Fill the Buns

    Place a toasted bun on a plate and fill it generously with the chili mixture.

  2. 8

    Add Cheese and Garnish

    Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chili. Garnish with sliced green onions.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious chili cheese dog bun!
