Ingredients

  • 8 pieces hot dogs
  • 8 pieces hot dog buns
  • 2 cups canned chili (with or without beans)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crushed potato chips
  • 0.5 cup diced onions
  • 0.25 cup yellow mustard
  • 0.25 cup ketchup
  • 0.25 cup relish
  • 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

1. Preheat the grill or a stovetop grill pan to medium heat.

Step 2

2. While the grill heats up, warm the canned chili in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3

3. If desired, lightly butter the insides of the hot dog buns to toast them. Place the buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

4. Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning frequently, until heated through and slightly charred.

Step 5

5. Once the hot dogs are cooked, assemble the Hillbilly Hot Dogs. Place each hot dog into a bun.

Step 6

6. Spoon a generous amount of warm chili over each hot dog.

Step 7

7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili. The warmth of the chili should melt the cheese slightly.

Step 8

8. Add a handful of crushed potato chips on top for crunch.

Step 9

9. Garnish with diced onions, a drizzle of mustard, ketchup, and relish, or any toppings of your choice.

Step 10
