Ingredients

  • 8 hotdogs
  • 8 hotdog buns
  • 14 ounces chili
  • 1 cup Velveeta

Instructions

  • 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.
