Chili Cheese Dogs
There is nothing better than loading up a casserole dish (or two!) with delicious, customizable Chili Cheese Dogs. These are filled with your favorite condiments and are topped with juicy hot dogs, hearty chili, and delicious nacho cheese sauce.
The buns are crispy on the outside, and soft and warm on the inside. The hot dogs come out of the oven perfectly cooked, extra juicy, and super flavorful!
We even heat up leftover hot dogs in foil for lunch on day #2. (Thanks to that crispy outer bun!)
How to Make It
See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
- Arrange 6 hot dog buns on the bottom of a lightly greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
- Add desired condiments to the bottom of the buns and top each with a hot dog.
- Spoon chili over the top, then add the nacho sauce.
- Cover and bake at 375° for 40 minutes.
- Let stand for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to remove and serve with grilled potatoes, baked potato wedges, potato salad, or French fries, chips!
What Goes with Chili Cheese Dogs
Toppings/Condiments:
- Ketchup, Yellow/Dijon Mustard, Mayonnaise, and Relish are great condiment options.
- Sautéed or finely diced onions, mushrooms, salsa, and jalapenos add a lot of flavor as well.
- Velveeta Queso or leftover Frito Pie is great on these as well!
Side Dishes:
- French Fries, Onion Rings, Potato Wedges, Potato Salad, Grilled Potatoes, Funeral Potatoes, and more! Check out all of my potato recipes and side dishes!
Best Canned Chili For Cheese Dogs
- Hormel Chili is a popular canned chili option that has a great consistency for chili dogs and can be purchased with or without beans and with a variety of heat options.
- 1 (15 oz.) can is more than enough for this recipe.
Storage and Reheating
- Wrap leftover hot dogs in foil and store in the fridge.
- Reheat the foil-wrapped hot dogs in a 350° oven for about 20 minutes.
