🌭 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.
