Chili Cheese Dogs

What – a hot dog – sure why not! I get regular emails from Joy the Baker, the well-known American baker, and when I saw this recipe I thought I haven’t had one of these in years! I suddenly had a craving for them! When I compared it to my old recipe I decided the old had to go and to kick it up a notch with Joy’s recipe.

Of course there are many ways you can serve a hot dog such as making your own relish or sauerkraut, using different sauces or condiments. Making chili is only one way to serve up this favorite American fare, especially at sports events and summertime barbecues.

Dachschund Sausages, or what we now call hot dogs, were originally brought over by German immigrants back in the late 1800’s.  The creator of the hot dog was Charles Dachshund. The classic method of cooking sausages in boiling water led to the name. In 1871 the first Coney Island opened and many are still open today. Their sauce does not even compare to this chili sauce which has a nice kick!

  1. A good American favorite eh Judi? It looks mouth-watering. Welcome to Fiesta Friday and thanks so much for bringing your chili cheese hot dogs, I know everyone at the Fiesta would want to have a nibble at least. Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your weekend, I know mine will be spent in the kitchen 🙂

    • I surprised myself at how much I enjoyed them. Guess when you have not had something in a long time it tastes that much better. Two big college football games today so I am home enjoying the first snowfall and probably do some baking. Happy FF 🙂

  2. Judi, the rich yummy color of that chili just drew me in. I have never used honey in my chili recipe and will try it next time. Chili is a game night favorite at our house. I love Fritos and pickles too!
    Wishing you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!

    • This is a chili just for hot dogs – I have two other chili recipes that I enjoy having a big bowl of. Joy’s suggestions for pickles and fritos just rounded off this meal pefectly. Have a nice Thanksgiving Sandhya!

  3. Hot Dog!!! I love them and especially the way you served with chili and the condiments! I am drooling while writing. Now I want some and have to think of how to get hold of one! Delicious post, Judi! 😛

    • Thanks Fae – I so enjoyed them fixed this way. A nice spicy chili with cheese and onions – how can you go wrong. For a baker, Joy sure comes up with some delicious non-baking recipes 🙂

  4. This is making me so hungry Aunt Juju. Just like they sell on those food trucks. Actually even better…yum..

  5. I can’t remember the last time I had a chili dog, but now I’m having that same sudden craving!! I loved hearing the history!! It somehow makes the hot dog seem a little more special.
