Baked Chili Cheese Dogs is a quick homemade 30-minute (at most) meal that everyone goes crazy for! Load the chili dogs with your favorite toppings and enjoy! Trust me, it takes regular old hot dogs to a whole new level of good!
This recipe can either be made in the oven or on the grill. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees or grill to medium-high heat.
Place hotdog buns, spine down, in a disposable baking pan (you have to use the lasagna size pan to fit them all, or you might have to use two smaller pans). You can also use a glass or metal baking dish. It makes clean-up easier if you line it with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Set hotdogs in buns.
Spread chili over hotdogs.
Cube Velveeta cheese and sprinkle over the chili.
Cover pan with foil and bake for about 30 minutes or until hotdogs and chili are warmed through and cheese is melted.
Add your favorite toppings.
Notes
Cheese: You can use other types of cheese. Grated cheddar, pepper jack, or Colby jack are great choices.Hot dogs: For crispier hotdogs grill, fry, or cook them in the air fryer before adding them to the buns. Toppings: Add your favorite toppings. See my post for fun topping ideas.
