I’ve had my share of chili dogs. They’ve been a favorite of mine since I was knee-high-to-a-grasshopper. And most of the time that meant canned chili. These barbecue bean chili dogs aren’t those chili dogs. These are amazingly good. Think chili on a dog. Think baked beans on the side… but then, not on the side. The perfect topping for a hot dog.
Chili Dogs Elevated
I was tempted to add cheese to these barbecue bean chili dogs, but I resisted. A sharp cheddar might be a nice addition, but they’re perfect just topped with some nice crunchy onion. French fried onions… now, those would be awesome too!
