I used grilled Hebrew National hot dogs. Only had a 10-oz can Great Value (Walmart brand) beanless chili so I used four hot dogs and rolls. Put mustard and onions on hot dogs before chili and cheese. My husband and I both loved this recipe. Easy and good!!

Topped with Boiler Makers Chili. Added diced onion on top of chili. Removed foil after 20 minutes and baked an additional 5 minutes. Yummy.

My son loves chili dogs and this recipe kicks it up a notch. I made the Vegetarian Chili Recipe by julieliz here instead of the Hormel, and that makes lots of leftover chili for those not really interested in chili dogs. I used bakery hot dog buns and jumbo hot dogs and threw the dogs on the BBQ for a few minutes to get some nice grill marks. Next time I'll use regular size dogs because it made a pretty big portion with all the chili and cheese - he had no problem with that, though!

I used a Mexican blend cheese and Chili without beans. Could fit 8 in the pan, 2ea. For a family of 4. So good they were wanting me to make another pan full.

I just made these. It was super easy to make and quick, too. I added chopped onions after it was finished baking. I also boiled the hot dogs, before preparing the dish. The canned Hormel chili was good! I was concerned how the canned chili would taste, but, no problem. I used krft medium cheddar cheese, and i shredded it with my old fasioned metal cheese shreddar. I will make again, soon. Thank you for the recipe!

Made this for a late lunch. Added 1/2 cup of corn to the chili. Turned out delicious!

Might help the buns to not get soggy if you lightly toast the buns before adding moist ingredients😁

Used homemade chili and made exactly as directed except for a squirt of mustard before the chili. Took about 10 mins longer than the recipe states but I packed them in there and our buns were large. Fantastic recipe! Will make again!

This was very good! So easy and a quick meal. I did also add diced onion and used Mexican mix cheese instead. I might add jalapeño or chili powder next time to try how it would taste as a spicy version.

This was such a tasty recipe, especially when you need to serve a lot of hot dogs warm at the same time. The chili and the melted cheese make for a delicious sauce and you can be as creative as you want with the toppings. A crowd pleaser through and through.
