Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces hot dog buns
- 4 pieces hot dogs
- 1 can (15 ounces) canned chili (with or without beans)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 piece yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional)
Instructions
Optional: Lightly butter the inside of each hot dog bun for extra flavor.
Place hot dog buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and set aside.
Heat a medium skillet or grill pan over medium heat and cook the hot dogs until browned and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Turn them occasionally for even cooking.
While the hot dogs are cooking, pour the canned chili into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warmed through (about 5 minutes).
Toast the prepared buns in a toaster oven or under the broiler on low for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Be careful not to burn them.
Place a cooked hot dog in each toasted bun, then spoon a generous amount of warm chili over the top.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chili on each hot dog.
Top with a small amount of finely diced onion for added crunch and flavor.
Drizzle mustard and ketchup on top as condiments, or serve on the side for dipping.
Enjoy your delicious and simple Chili Dogs College Style!
