Chili Dog Bites Recipes

PULL-APART DOG BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a 9-by-13-inch baking sheet with parchment.
• Slice off and discard the ends of each hot dog. Quarter the trimmed hot dogs, crosswise. Unroll the crescent roll dough on the prepared baking sheet. Split the dough in half lengthwise. Pinch the perforated seams of the dough together.
• For the chili dog bites: Evenly space 6 teaspoon-size dollops of chili down the center of one strip of dough. Top each with some onions and Cheddar. Stand a hot dog piece upright in each pile of toppings. Fold the sides of the dough on the chili dog bite lengthwise to cover the filling, leaving holes for the hot dogs to stick out. Pinch the dough together between each hot dog. The filling should be sealed inside and the hot dogs peeking out. Use the dull side of a butter knife to score the dough between each hot dog. Brush the dough with egg and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
• For the Chicago dog bites: Arrange the remaining 6 hot dog pieces standing upright on the other dough strip. Nestle against each hot dog half a cornichon, half a tomato and a teaspoon relish. Fold and seal as the chili dog bites above. Brush the dough with the egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
• Bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Pull-apart and serve with yellow and spicy brown mustard for dipping.

CHILI DOGS

Steps:

• Add the ground beef to a small pot over medium heat. Let it cook until you see some fat in the pan then add the onion and garlic. Continue to cook until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add the honey and chili powder to the pot and stir well. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the honey then add the diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Let the chili simmer on low heat while you prepare the dogs and buns.
• Cook the hot dogs and warm the buns over a fire, on a grill, or in a pan on your stove. When they're ready, put a hot dog in each bun and top with ¼ cup of the chili, 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar, and some green onions. (See notes)

CHILI CHEESE DOG BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the pieces of hot dog buns, open face up into the cups of 2 12-cup muffin pans. Distribute half the cheese evenly into the opening of all of the hot dog buns. Place a piece of hot dog on top of the cheese in each bun, then spoon chili over the top of each hot dog.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the pans from the oven and sprinkle the remaining cheese over each dog. Bake for 1 more minute, or until the cheese on the top is melted.
• Serve the chili dog bites on a serving platter and top with diced red onion.

TEXAS CHILI DOG

Steps:

• To make chili, brown ground beef in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large saucepan for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
• Add onion and red bell pepper, stirring well. Add tomato sauce and seasonings, stirring well.
• Allow mixture to bubble for about 10 minutes, then reduce heat to simmer and cook at least 30 minutes.
• To make hot dogs, cook on your grill or on a grill pan until just seared on the outside.
• Meanwhile, toast buns in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes, taking care not to brown.
• Swipe each bun with mustard, top with chili as desired, followed by grated cheese, onion and, if you're brave, jalapenos.
• If you'd like the cheese all melty, place chili dogs on a foil-lined cookie sheet and run under a hot broiler for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese bubbles.

CHILI CHEESE DOG BOATS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Leaving them attached, place the 8 hot dog buns in a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33-cm) baking dish. Cut a rectangle in each hot dog bun, making sure to stay 1 centimeter from the edges. Push down on the bread cut-out to compact it tightly into the bottom of each bun, making sure to press down on the bottom edges as well. This will help create a larger space for the fillings and reduce mess.
• Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley in a small bowl, then brush the buns and their hollowed insides with the garlic butter. Bake for 5 minutes to toast the buns as well as help the sides of the buns firm up so they don't collapse under the weight of the fillings.
• Place a slice of cheddar cheese inside each bun, then spoon a bit of chili inside each one. Slide a hot dog snugly on top of the chili in each bun, then top with more chili.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and the chili has started to brown. Top with fresh parsley, then slice the hot dog boats along their connected seams to serve.
• Enjoy!
