Oven Baked Chili Cheese Dogs
Oven Baked Chili Dogs are hot dogs loaded with chili, cheese, and onion, then baked to perfection! They are so delicious and perfect for game day!
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* 🙂
