three chili cheese dogs

Oh yes — Three Chili Cheese Dogs are the ultimate comfort food: juicy hot dogs, smothered in rich chili, and topped with melty cheese. 🌭🧀 Here’s a simple way to make them at home:

🌭 Three Chili Cheese Dogs

Ingredients

(Serves 3)

3 hot dogs (beef, pork, or your favorite type)
3 hot dog buns
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend)
1 cup prepared chili (homemade or canned — make sure it’s thick, not watery)
Optional toppings: diced onions, jalapeños, or mustard

Instructions

1. Cook the hot dogs

Boil, grill, or pan-fry hot dogs until heated through and lightly browned.

2. Toast the buns (optional)

Lightly toast buns on a skillet, grill, or in the oven for extra flavor and sturdiness.

3. Assemble the chili cheese dogs

Place each hot dog in a bun.
Spoon a generous amount of chili over each hot dog.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top so it melts slightly.
Add optional toppings if desired.

4. Serve

Serve immediately with chips, fries, or a pickle on the side.

💡 Tips

For extra melty cheese, place the assembled chili dogs under a broiler for 1–2 minutes.
Use thick chili — too runny chili can make the buns soggy.
Mix cheddar with Monterey Jack for a creamier, gooier topping.
