Why we love these chili dogs baked in the oven
Why this version of our chili cheese hot dog bake is super delicious is because we brush the buns with yummy garlic butter. The fragrant flavor really comes through and the butter crisps the buns to a perfect crunch! When we took them out of the oven, we didn’t think the buns would be so crispy and delicious. We couldn’t help ourselves but to eat more than one. A generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese makes it extra delicious.
So when you want to whip of everyones favorite hot dogs, this version of chili dogs will knock their socks off. You can make trays of these super quick and sauce them up with extra chili and cheese if you like. What ever you do, make sure to make extra because everyone is going to go nuts over how delicious and addicting they are.
Different Hot Dog Options
Remember that there are many hot dog options made of pork, beef, chicken and even tofu! So there’s plenty of options for hot dogs for different eaters. There’s even different hot dog bun types. But what make it extra delicious is the garlic butter, the type of cheese you use and all the extra hot dog toppings that you add-on. If you want a great Instant Pot chili recipe this one is award winning!
