Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Grill the hot dogs for 5-7 minutes, or until they are browned and heated through.
- While the hot dogs are grilling, heat the Cincinnati chili in a small pot or microwave.
- Toast the hot dog buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, or until they are lightly browned.
- Place a grilled hot dog in each bun and top with a generous amount of Cincinnati chili.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped onions over the top of the chili. Add mustard, if desired. You can also place the chili dogs under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes to melt the cheese, if desired.
Notes
- Chili Options: Feel free to use your favorite homemade chili recipe or a high-quality canned chili if you're short on time.
- Topping Choices: Customize your chili dogs with toppings like shredded cheese, diced onions, or even jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Bun Selection: Toasting the buns slightly will add a nice crunch and help hold the chili better. Using bakery-fresh buns can elevate the entire dish.
- Serving Suggestions: Chili dogs pair wonderfully with classic sides like coleslaw, fries, or a simple garden salad.
- Meat Alternatives: Vegetarian or looking to switch things up? Substitute the traditional hot dog with a meat-free version or a different type of sausage that suits your taste.
