Oven Baked Chili Dogs

THIS RECIPE FOR OVEN BAKED CHILI DOGS IS SO DELICIOUS AND WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA FOR A SUMMER POTLUCK OR SOME GAME DAY FOOD. THEY ARE A YUMMY ALTERNATIVE TO REGULAR HOT DOGS!

SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE AND I CAN’T WAIT! BARBECUES, SWIMMING AND CAMPING ARE IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND I’M BEYOND EXCITED! THIS RECIPE FOR OVEN BAKED CHILI DOGS WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA FOR A SUMMER POTLUCK. THEY ARE A SINFULLY DELICIOUS ALTERNATIVE TO REGULAR HOT DOGS.

THE TYPE OF CHILI YOU USE IS TOTALLY UP TO YOU! FEEL FREE TO USE CANNED IF YOU DON’T HAVE A LOT OF TIME, BUT I WOULD SUGGEST HOMEMADE TO TAKE THESE BABIES TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
I PERSONALLY LOVE A CERTAIN BRAND OF CHILI CALLED ‘BEAR CREEK DARN GOOD CHILI’. IT HAS ALL THE SPICES AND DRIED BEANS IN A PACKAGE. YOU JUST ADD COOKED GROUND BEEF AND TOMATO PASTE TO IT. IT’S EASY AND DELICIOUS.
IF YOU CAN FIND IT IN YOUR GROCERY STORE I SUGGEST YOU TRY IT. IT IS AMAZING CHILI! ESPECIALLY ON THESE OVEN BAKED CHILI CHEESE DOGS ALL DRENCHED IN CHEESE AND ONION. *DROOL* ?

Ingredients

  • 8 hot dogs
  • 8 hot dog buns
  • 2 cups prepared chili
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 small red or yellow onion chopped
  • TOPPINGS:
  • relish, mustard, ketchup, etc.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9×13 baking pan with tin-foil (for easy clean-up). Place hot dog buns inside. (I only fit 7, but if you squeeze them together all 8 should fit)
  • Squeeze desired amounts of mustard, ketchup and relish into the inside bottom of each bun. Then put a hot dog inside each bun, over the sauces.
  • Ladle about a 1/3 cup of chili onto each hot dog, and then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and onion.
  • Cover pan with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Let stand 5 minutes and then carefully remove foil. Use a spatula to help remove hot dogs from pan.
