When I get the craving for a chili dog, I want it loaded. My chili dogs aren’t the kind you can hold with your hand, it requires a plate, fork, and napkin. If you don’t have homemade hot dog chili sauce along with onions, cole-slaw, and cheddar, you’re doing it wrong. It’s a perfect balance of savory, spicy, sweet, and cheesy all in one bite.
How to use hot dog chili sauce?
You can use the hot dog chili sauce anywhere you like chili. I like putting it on chili-cheese nachos. Pile your corn tortillas onto the plate followed by some nacho cheese sauce, chili, onions, and jalapenos. That’s the best way you can eat nachos.
How to make hot dog chili sauce
It’s a very simple recipe that cooks up in no time. Brown your ground beef, add your tomatoes and spices and let it simmer for a little while. There is basically no prep unless you want to add fresh onions instead of onion powder or minced onions.
