This recipe for Oven Baked Chili Dogs is so delicious and would be a great idea for a summer potluck or some game day food. They are a yummy alternative to regular hot dogs!
Summer is almost here and I CAN’T WAIT! Barbecues, swimming and camping are in the near future and I’m beyond excited! This recipe for Oven Baked Chili Dogs would be a great idea for a summer potluck. They are a sinfully delicious alternative to regular hot dogs.
The type of chili you use is totally up to you! Feel free to use canned if you don’t have a lot of time, but I would suggest homemade to take these babies to the next level.
I personally love a certain brand of chili called ‘Bear Creek Darn Good Chili’. It has all the spices and dried beans in a package. You just add cooked ground beef and tomato paste to it. It’s easy and delicious.
If you can find it in your grocery store I suggest you try it. It is amazing chili! Especially on these Oven Baked Chili Cheese Dogs all drenched in cheese and onion. *drool* 🙂

- Ladle about a 1/3 cup of chili onto each hot dog, and then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and onion.

Just curious to know if the buns get soggy when cooking in the oven with all those ingredients? They look delicious.
No not at all. The buns actually crisp up a little! They’re delicious!
Nope! I Had the same concern but I made them today for my husband, son, and a couple of friends and they turned out great, major hit!

Made these yesterday and they were so simple to make and tasted so darn good! I used the Southern style hot dogs and a different brand of chili and they were absolutely yummy! I love how you can change up the variation of flavors with this recipe. Will definitely be making this one over and over again. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe! =)
Holly, I am taking your word for the Bear Creek “Darn Good Chili” being great. I picked up a package last night just to make these dogs! Do you add any beef, or do you cook yours per package directions? I have made my hot dogs in the oven exactly like yours since I can remember, and have always used canned Wolf Brand Chili.
I always add beef to the Bear Creek Chili. So good!
Waiting for these in the oven as I type. This was super easy and all my boys are slightly impatiently waiting. Thank you for this easy after work recipe! Can’t wait to try & dabble with the ingredients next time!

Holly, these are SO GOOD! I just made them for dinner and my husband gave them rave reviews. He said he would have ate the whole pan!
My mom would make these during the summer, especially on July 4th. They are so good!!!!
I’m making these now. We’ve had them before and they are excellent! Being Southerners, we add slaw to the top after baking. Adds a delicious tang and crunch!
That sounds delicious, Janice!
It is! And messy! I’d send a picture but i don’t think there is a way to do that.
We add slaw to ours also. I love it. I have made ours in the oven as it so convenient and gives me time to made the french fries in the air fryer.
I love these I’ve had them at least 4 times. I will never go back to my ways of making hotdogs. Absolutely love them
