This recipe may seem a bit silly I know. When I saw it I thought "who needs a recipe for chili dogs?," but then I tried it and I realized Oven Hot Dogs are something special.
I don't know why baking the chili dogs makes such a difference, but it does. The mustard and relish were also a wonderful surprise. The combination of smoky chili with tangy mustard and relish was amazing. It really made regular chili dogs into something a little unexpected.
Ingredients:
8 hot dogs
8 hot dog buns
1 can of chili
1/2 an onion, diced
