Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Hot dog buns — Toasting the buns on the grill adds a nice crunch and prevents them from becoming soggy.
  • Beef chili — For a homemade chili, brown ground beef in a skillet, then add diced onions, garlic, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and a pinch of sugar. Simmer for 20 minutes to develop the flavors.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle some cayenne pepper on top.
  • Customize your toppings by adding mustard, ketchup, or pickles.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, opt for a mild chili or reduce the amount of chili used.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or Swiss, for a unique twist.
  • Serve with a side of crispy french fries for a complete meal.

Serving advice

Serve the Cheese Coney Hot Dogs immediately after assembling to ensure the cheese is melted and gooey. Pair them with a side of fries and your favorite condiments for a satisfying meal.

Presentation advice

Arrange the Cheese Coney Hot Dogs on a platter, with the toppings beautifully displayed. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve with a side of fries and a small ramekin of extra chili for dipping.
