Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 6 all-beef hot dogs
- 6 top-sliced hot dog buns
- 1/2 cup no-bean chili or another chili you like
- 1 cup shredded smoked cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Optional garnishes: Chopped parsley finely diced red onion, shredded smoked cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Melt the butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the hot dogs and cook them for a few minutes until the skin crisps up. Take them out of the pan.
- In a bowl, toss the cornstarch with the shredded cheese so it’s evenly coated.
- In the same skillet, warm the heavy cream over medium heat. Add the cheese and salt and stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Place the buns in a baking dish and place a hot dog in each. Spoon chili over the top and then add the cheese sauce.
- Bake the hot dogs for 20 minutes or until the chili is warmed through.
- Garnish the chili dogs with chopped parsley, diced onion, and a little more shredded cheese.
