Toasty dogs, often referred to as hot dogs on a stick or corn dogs, are a delightful and nostalgic culinary creation that bridges the gap between sweet and savory. Made from succulent hot dogs or sausages, coated in a golden-brown cornmeal batter, and impaled on wooden sticks, these portable treats are a staple at carnivals, fairs, and sporting events. As the hot dog cooks enveloped in the crispy batter, it emerges from the fryer, exuding an irresistible aroma that beckons food enthusiasts from afar. Whether you prefer them plain or adorned with toppings like mustard, ketchup, or relish, toasty dogs are a quintessential American snack that offers a satisfying and playful eating experience.

CHILI DOGS
Steps:
- Put a skillet over medium heat and drizzle in a 2-count of olive oil. When the oil gets hazy, add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until it is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with the back of a spoon, and cook until nicely browned, about 10 more minutes. Stir in the ketchup, chili powder, and mustard and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the chili is cooking, get the grill going. Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue and get it very hot. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small
- amount of oil on the paper towel. Then carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick grilling surface.
- Bring a pot of water up to a simmer and parboil the dogs for about 5 minutes. Take them out of the water, pat them dry, and grill them just long enough to mark them. (That'll give them a grilled flavor too.) Brush the insides of the rolls with olive oil and lay them face down on the grill; cook until toasty. To serve, put a dog in each roll and top with the chili and some Cheddar.
TOASTY DOGS
Steps:
- 1. Lay your bread flat on the surface of a non stick baking sheet. 2. Lay a slice of cheese on the bread. 3. Set a hot dog diagonal across the top of the cheese and bread. 4. Fold the corners of the bread around the hot dog until they overlap. 5. Insert a toothpick through the corners of the bread and into the hot dog to hold the bread in place.
