Chili Cheese Dog Ingredients

Method

Chili Cheese Dog Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hot Dogs

    Start by grilling or boiling the hot dogs according to your preference. If grilling, preheat the grill to medium heat.

  2. 2

    Warm the Buns

    While the hot dogs are cooking, warm the hot dog buns. You can place them on the grill for a few minutes or microwave them for about 10-15 seconds until warm.

  3. 3

    Heat the Chili

    In a small saucepan, heat the chili over medium heat until it is warmed through. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Chili Cheese Dogs

    Once the hot dogs are cooked and the buns are warmed, place each hot dog into a bun. Spoon the heated chili generously over each hot dog.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese and Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili on each hot dog. Top with diced onions and drizzle mustard on top. Add any optional toppings you desire.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the chili cheese dogs immediately while they are hot. Enjoy!
