    Why This Recipe Works

    I don’t know that I’ve ever in my life eaten a Chili Dog before yesterday. WHAT. How can this be?? So I really have nothing to compare these Chili Dogs to, but! …don’t click away yet…

    BUT! I know good Chili and I know good ‘dogs and I know good dinners and I know good comfort food and this dish fits in all of the above categories. I was alone in the house when they came out of the oven and guess how many I devoured. THREE. No shame because I literally could not help myself.

    Also, THANK YOU for leaving the sweet comments on my Apple Pie post. Even if commenting isn’t your thing, please know that I appreciate knowing you’re here. I won’t beg or anything, but I’d love to hear from you guys more often.

    I’m not sure if you know this, but my Best Chili on Earth recipe lives up to its name. It is in the Top 3 Most Popular recipes on this entire website. It. Is. DELICIOUS. So if you’ve never made it, please add it to your to-do list. You will not be disappointed. If you don’t have the time to make it, please consider making this Easy 5-Ingredient Chili!

    My Chili makes an enormous batch, so unless you freeze part of it (it does freeze very well!), set some aside for this Best Ever Chili Dogs Recipe. It would be a great party food and dinner alike, just be sure to serve as soon as possible after pulling them out of the oven to avoid soggy hot dog buns. No one likes a soggy bun.
