Home Run Hot Dog Chili

I’ll put just about anything on a hot dog. As long as it’s good. But this Home Run hot dog chili? It’s not just good. No, it’s totally amazing. It’s like the most unbelievable meat sauce I’ve ever had or made. You’ll think you’re at the ballpark for sure, and you’ll be wanting more as soon as you take that first bite. Just make sure that you have extra napkins, because things are about to get (good and) messy!

Home Run Hot Dog Chili

No matter what else you want to put on your dogs, you have to start with this first. Not only does Home Run hot dog chili taste great, but it is also (very importantly) the perfect consistency. You don’t want it too thick. You definitely don’t want it too thin. This is spot-on right what it should be. No big meaty chunks to bite into. Perfect!

I like to put chopped onions on my hot dogs. I soak them in cold water for a little bit before I put them on there to take a bit of the bite out of them.

I also love making slow cooker hot dogs and my barbecue bean chili dogs.

Slow Cooker Chili Dogs

It was not a great day for grilling. I’ve always said that grilling is a passion not a season. But 50 MPH winds and blowing rain can make me rethink that philosophy. I was still jonesin’ for a chili dog so I brought out the slow cooker and satisfied my need for a good dog on a bad weather day. The dogs end up tender and they even absorb some of the great chili flavors. Topped with cheese, onion and jalapeno they hit the spot.

Slow Cooker Chili Dogs

Slow cooker chili dogs are a really great way to feed a crowd with no fuss whatsoever. You can easily double or triple this recipe if your slow cooker is big enough, ideal for that big game party!

Also try my slow cooker chicken wings.
