Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces hot dogs
- 8 pieces hot dog buns
- 2 cups canned chili (with or without beans)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup crushed potato chips
- 0.5 cup diced onions
- 0.25 cup yellow mustard
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup relish
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
1. Preheat the grill or a stovetop grill pan to medium heat.
2. While the grill heats up, warm the canned chili in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. If desired, lightly butter the insides of the hot dog buns to toast them. Place the buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Remove and set aside.
4. Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning frequently, until heated through and slightly charred.
5. Once the hot dogs are cooked, assemble the Hillbilly Hot Dogs. Place each hot dog into a bun.
6. Spoon a generous amount of warm chili over each hot dog.
7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili. The warmth of the chili should melt the cheese slightly.
8. Add a handful of crushed potato chips on top for crunch.
9. Garnish with diced onions, a drizzle of mustard, ketchup, and relish, or any toppings of your choice.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty Hillbilly Hot Dogs!
