Ingredients

4 hot dog buns
4 hot dogs
1 cup (240 ml) hot dog chili
1 / 2 cup (60 g) shredded cheddar cheese
1 / 4 cup (40 g) finely chopped onion
Mustard to taste
Ketchup to taste

Instructions

1. **Prepare the Hot Dogs**: Start by grilling or boiling the hot dogs according to your preference. If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the hot dogs for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until heated through and slightly charred. If boiling, bring a pot of water to a boil, add the hot dogs, and reduce to a simmer for about 5 minutes.

2. **Warm the Chili**: While the hot dogs are cooking, heat the hot dog chili on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it’s heated through. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

3. **Assemble the Chili Dogs**: Place each hot dog in a bun. Top with a generous scoop of hot dog chili, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped onions. Add mustard and ketchup to taste, if desired. Serve immediately.
