Ah, hot dogs. One of my favorite things. And you can put almost anything on them. Lately, I’ve been making more traditional hot dogs, such as the Boston hot dog, or the Chicago dog. Like the others, this grilled Cincinnati hot dog is very tasty, and very easy.

Real Cincinnati Chili Is Required

The key to a great grilled Cincinnati hot dog is to use real Cincinnati chili, which has a hint of cinnamon. I used some chili I picked up from Skyline Chili. If you don’t have a Skyline Chili near you, check the canned chili section of your local grocery store as Skyline also sells a canned version of their famous chili but you can also make my slow cooker Cincinnati chili.

Ingredients

• 4 hot dogs grilled

• extra sharp cheddar shredded
• 1 small onion chopped
• prepared yellow mustard

Instructions

• Place the dogs in the buns and heap on the chili. Don’t be shy.

Notes

I like to make a shallow cut down the length of my dogs. The cut will open up slightly during cooking, giving the toppings a place to go!
