Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 8 beef hot dogs
- 8 hot dog buns
- 2 cups chili (canned or homemade)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and quickly sear the hot dogs for 2–3 minutes, turning to brown all sides.
Place each hot dog into a bun and line them up in the prepared baking dish.
Spoon the chili evenly over the top of the hot dogs and buns.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chili.
Add diced red onions and jalapeños if using.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and everything is heated through.
Drizzle with mustard and ketchup before serving, and garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a crispier base, toast the buns lightly before assembling.
- You can also use turkey or veggie dogs as a substitute.
- Serve with coleslaw or fries for a complete meal.
