Equipment

Notes

    • All Beef. I find that all beef hot dogs have the best flavor and texture.

    • Toasty Buns. Toast the buns lightly before assembling chili dogs for a crispier texture.

    • Thick Chili. My easy homemade chili recipe is the best chili for this recipe. It’s loaded with tons of flavor and has just the right thick texture for chili cheese dogs.

    • Keep it Warm. If all the ingredients are warm when the chili cheese dogs are assembled, then 15 minutes should be plenty of baking time. If the ingredients are cold, I recommend warming them in the air fryer or on the stove before assembling. This will ensure that the chili cheese dogs come out piping hot and that everything is warmed through evenly.

    • Variations. Add a drizzle of mustard, a dollop of sour cream, or a few pickled jalapenos for extra flavor.

    • Serve Immediately. Chili cheese dogs will get a bit soggy as they sit, so serve them right away, fresh from the oven!
