- 4 hot dog buns (soft or lightly toasted)
- 1 cup canned chili (or homemade)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Hot Dogs: Grill or boil the hot dogs until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Heat the Chili: Warm the canned chili on the stovetop over medium heat or microwave it until hot, stirring occasionally.
- Assemble the Coneys: Place each hot dog in a bun, then spoon chili over the top.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the chili. Let it melt slightly.
- Optional: Add diced onions for extra flavor and crunch.
- Serve: Enjoy the Chili Cheese Coneys while they’re still warm and the cheese is melty!
Notes
- For extra flavor, toast the buns lightly on a grill or in a toaster before assembling.
- Feel free to swap cheddar for Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or any other cheese you love.
- Toppings like jalapeños, crispy bacon, or sour cream can add an extra twist to your coney.
