Chili Cheese Dog Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chili

    In a saucepan, heat the vegan chili (or regular chili) over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Grill the Hot Dogs

    Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat. Grill the all-beef hot dogs for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have nice grill marks.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    If desired, lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill for the last minute of cooking.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Chili Cheese Dog

    Place each grilled hot dog in a toasted bun. Top generously with the warmed chili, followed by a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Finish with your choice of raw, grilled, chipotle, or crispy onions.

  5. 5

    Serve

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