Baked Chili Dogs
An easy way to get your craving for hot dogs and chili satisfied!
Servings: 8 chili dogs
Ingredients
EASY CHILI RECIPE:
- 16 ounces ground beef or turkey
- 1 small onion, peeled and chopped
- One 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- Two 15-ounce cans diced tomatoes, undrained
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
CHILI DOGS:
- 8 hot dog buns
- 8 hot dogs
- chili (use recipe above, or make your own)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup chopped green onions
- 1 cup crushed Fritos corn chips
Instructions
MAKE THE CHILI:
- In a large pot, cook the ground meat and onion together on medium-high for 5 to 10 minutes, until the meat is no longer pink. Add the beans, tomatoes, chili powder and garlic powder to the meat. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
ASSEMBLE THE CHILI DOGS:
- Preheat the oven to 375℉. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray. Line up the hot dog buns in the pan. Add a hot dog in each bun. Top each hot dog with ⅓ cup of the chili. Sprinkle all of the cheese on top. Cover with foil (spray the foil with nonstick spray so it won’t stick to the cheese). Bake for 30 minutes.
FOR SERVING:
- Drizzle sour cream on top (place in a plastic baggie and snip the end to use for a squeezing vessel). Sprinkle with green onions and crushed Fritos.
Notes
- Nutritional information in this recipe is taking into account that all of the chili will be consumed. So the numbers given are likely to be less if you don't use all of the chili for the baked chili dogs.
