CHILI CHEESE DOGS



Chili Cheese Dogs image

This top dog is perfect for game day. With minimal ingredients (and time!) you can make a slightly spicy beef chili and keep it warm in a slow cooker on the warm setting. Double the recipe for a hungry crowd and serve with extra toppings, like chopped raw onions, relish or french-fried onions.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 large white onion, chopped
8 ounces ground beef
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup canned diced tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
8 hot dogs
8 split hot dog buns
4 ounces shredded Cheddar
Ketchup and mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • For the chili: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the beef and garlic and cook, stirring and breaking up into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, until the meat is brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cayenne, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until well combined, about 1 minute.
  • Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and 1/2 cup water to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
  • For the chili dogs: Preheat a grill or large grill pan to medium. Grill the hot dogs according to the package directions until grill marks appear and the hot dogs are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Working in batches, if necessary, grill the cut side of the buns until golden and toasted, about 1 minute. Build the hot dogs and top each with about 1/4 cup of chili spooned down the length of the hot dog. Sprinkle each with some cheese and serve with ketchup and mustard.

Upgrade your hot dog and make this chili cheese dog recipe! They're made with a simple chili and cheddar cheese!

Provided by Lee Funke

Categories     Main Meal

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ pound ground beef (we used 80/20)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion (diced (about 1 cup))
2 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
½ cup tomato sauce
2 cup water
15 oz. can red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
1 tablespoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
6 all-beef hot dogs (I used Nathan's Brand)
6 hot dog buns
1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
Chili (from above)

Steps:

  • Heat a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the beef is browned, remove it from the pan.
  • Add the olive oil and diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the onion is tender.
  • Next, add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for one minute.
  • Add the ground beef back to the pan along with the tomato sauce, water, beans, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, and oregano.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce it to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove the chili from the heat and set it aside while you prepare the hot dogs.
  • Preheat your oven to 400F.
  • Grill or saute the hot dogs until they are warmed through-- about 5-8 minutes over medium-high heat.
  • Open the hot dog buns slightly (make sure not to rip them completely in half) and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, or just until they're lightly toasted on top.
  • Add one hot dog to each bun and top each hot dog with 2-3 tablespoons of chili, depending on how much you like!
  • Top the chili with 2-3 tablespoons of cheddar cheese and place the hot dogs in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve immediately. I don't recommend storing the assembled hot dogs as the chili can make the buns soggy. Store any leftover chili in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

CHILI CHEESE DOG BOATS RECIPE BY TASTY



Chili Cheese Dog Boats Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: hot dog buns, butter, garlic, fresh parsley, cheddar cheese, chili, hot dogs

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 hot dog buns
¼ cup butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
8 slices cheddar cheese
15 oz chili, with or without beans
8 hot dogs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Leaving them attached, place the 8 hot dog buns in a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33-cm) baking dish. Cut a rectangle in each hot dog bun, making sure to stay 1 centimeter from the edges. Push down on the bread cut-out to compact it tightly into the bottom of each bun, making sure to press down on the bottom edges as well. This will help create a larger space for the fillings and reduce mess.
  • Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley in a small bowl, then brush the buns and their hollowed insides with the garlic butter. Bake for 5 minutes to toast the buns as well as help the sides of the buns firm up so they don't collapse under the weight of the fillings.
  • Place a slice of cheddar cheese inside each bun, then spoon a bit of chili inside each one. Slide a hot dog snugly on top of the chili in each bun, then top with more chili.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and the chili has started to brown. Top with fresh parsley, then slice the hot dog boats along their connected seams to serve.
  • Enjoy!
