I was drooling over Chris’ Tennessee Smoky Hot Dogs posting over on Nibble Me This, and thinking… boy, that sure sounds and looks great. But, I was in a bit of a hurry, so I changed it up to be a bit easier. These hot dogs with onion, chili, and slaw hit the spot. Just like slaw on pulled pork sandwiches, I love slaw on a hot dog. Add in some hot chili and crunchy onions and I’m in hot dog heaven.

Hot Dogs with Onion, Chili, and Slaw

Not Fancy. Just Good.

My hot dogs with onion, chili and slaw are not quite the same as Chris’, but the inspiration is there and so is the great flavor! Cool slaw really makes the show here. That creamy crunchiness contrasts the grilled dogs and chili perfectly.

Also give my hot dogs with spicy sauce and grilled onions a try!

I also like making these hot dogs with my homemade chili dog sauce.
