These Baked Chili Dogs are the perfect party food or easy dinner my whole family always enjoys! They come together in mere minutes and are a great way to use up leftover chili. Serve them with a toppings bar and selection of sides for great game day party fare everyone will love!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13 baking dish with foil and coat with cooking spray. Heat the chili till warm in microwave or on stovetop.
Cook hot dogs over medium heat on a grill or on the stove top until warmed through (alternatively, cook for 1 to 2 minutes in microwave).
Place the hot dogs in the buns and place in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Top with chili and cheese and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Top with chopped tomatoes and onions and serve immediately!
Notes
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. No one.
Use sturdy buns that will hold up to all the ingredients so you’re eating your chili dog and not wearing it.
Make the chili dogs and put out a selection of hot dog toppings for everyone to choose from
You can use nacho cheese sauce instead of the shredded cheese
You can use turkey chili if you avoid ground beef.
