Chili Cheese Dogs
This recipe for Chili cheese dogs is sure to be a hit at your Independence Day celebration! Serve it in conjunction with the typical burger. It is super easy to make, incredibly frugal, and is quite tasty.
Chili Cheese Dogs Ingredients:
8 hot dog buns (you can use whatever kind of hot dogs you like)
8 hot dogs
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups of pre-made chili
1/2 cup of chopped onion (can be red or yellow onion)
Your preference of condiments (ketchup, relish, etc.)
Chili Cheese Dogs Directions:
Start by preheating your oven to 375*. Take a 9×13 baking pan and place the hot dog buns inside. You can line the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil to decrease your mess and make clean up easier! Put whatever condiments you like in the bottom of the hot dog buns (you can use ketchup, mustard, relish, etc.) Next, you should place a hot dog inside each bun. The hot dogs will be on top of your chosen condiments. Put approximately 1/3 cup of the pre-made chili on top of each hot dog. After that, place your desired amount of cheddar cheese on top of each hot dog. You can put your chopped onion on top of the cheddar cheese. Cover your pan with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes. After you remove the pan from the oven, let it sit out for 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes have passed, you can use a spoon or a spatula to remove the baked chili cheese dogs from the pan. Dig in!
