Classic Chili Dogs

There’s nothing like Classic Chili Dogs for your summer backyard BBQ! These dogs are totally droolworthy!

Classic Chili Dogs

This week it’s all about BBQing at the BHK. First up, the mouthwatering Classic Chili Dog!

Grab a napkin (or two) because this one’s gonna be messy folks!

Classic Chili Dogs

It seems people either love or hate hot dogs. I happen to be in the love category, especially during the summer and right off the BBQ. And when the dogs are perfectly grilled and topped with some homemade chili, cheese, a sprinkle of onions and a drizzle of yellow mustard, it’s game over!

Classic Chili Dogs

The chili for these dogs is easier than easy to make and has just the right amount of spice. It elevates the regular grilled dog to super dog status. It’s a simple mixture of ground beef, onions, garlic, beef stock, tomato paste and spices and can be whipped up in just about 30 minutes.

Classic Chili Dogs

You can make the chili the day before the BBQ, so the day of you can just heat it up as the hot dogs are grillin’. Don’t forget to toast your buns, because that always makes a big difference in my opinion. And don’t be stingy with the chili and cheese! Go big or go home! Enjoy!

    I am in the – I’m not sure how I feel about hot dogs camp. If it’s the only thing available at a BBQ, I’m going to eat them for sure. But I’ll always choose something else if there is an option. HOWEVER, if THESE fabulous chili dogs were available, they would be my FIRST choice!! I mean, look at these!!! So much gloriousness happening here!!! I could eat about a dozen of these in the blink of an eye! Pinned! Cheers, friend!
