Baked Chili Cheese Dogs
A guaranteed crowd favorite. Promise! So easy to make and you can bake it right in the oven for that melted cheesy goodness! YES!
Apparently there’s a Dodgers game tonight. I should probably know this myself, being an LA resident and all, but I’m hearing it through the grapevine.
I guess it’s the playoffs or something? I should probably stop talking now.
Either way. This. This mountain of cheesy goodness.
Yes. This is what I’ll be eating during tonight’s game. And I’ll douse my hot dog with extra chili and extra onions.
Hey, remember what Joey Tribbiani said to Pheebs when she was prego? If you’re gonna do something wrong, do it right!

My family loved this! Yummy!
I just subscribed to your recipe blog after spending well over 2 hours reading and drooling over your recipes! I think my husband will love the recipes that I am going to make as a result. I didn’t get everything done at home the way I wanted to today, but am happy that I found a source of great meals for us. Thanks.
Do you have a chili recipe you used?
I used this recipe but without the steak! 🙂

Amazing!!!
Do you have a preferred brand of canned chili?
Also – how did you get the grill marks on the hot dogs in the oven?? (kidding) ; )
Thank you! Take care!
I love the organic vegetarian chili from Trader Joe’s.
Hi Chungah!
I just wanted to say that I’ve been a blog reader for a while, and I adore your writing and your photography. Recently I made a compilation of some of my favourite blogs (which I had to feature yours in!), and you can check it out here: https://cookiesnchem.com/2016/10/19/my-top-22-favourite-food-blogs/
Thanks for making your blog so easy to read, exciting, and creative. Hope the rest of your day is amazing!

Delicious looking comfort food, but I’ve never seen cheddar cheese sticks.
Wal-Mart carries them, right by the string cheese.
Sounds perfect for game day!
Chungah,
The lack of reading skills and sometimes civility by the people who comment on your recipes never ceases to amaze me! On nearly every one of your recipes,(which I love by the way 🙂 people make comments or ask questions without carefully reading the recipes first. When I do have a question, I always check your comments section, and find you have answered it, usually multiple times!
Thank you for all the wonderful recipes you provide to your readers, free of charge. Blessings to you and yours!
Wow, people can be mean. I saw the asterisk and knew that the grill marks were for photographic purposes only. If you want to grill your hot dogs, feel free to do that. I love your recipes and have made quite a few. Keep doing what your doing.
These look really good – and this gives me an idea to do something similar with sausage, peppers, marinara & mozz cheese. Do the buns get kind of soggy and hard to hold, though? These would also be fun cut in half – kind of like dog/sausage sliders.
If consumed immediately, sogginess shouldn’t be an issue at all! 🙂 I also love the idea of half sliders!
We toast the buns a few minutes under the broiler for pulled pork sandwiches, so I’m willing to try that with this recipe, too. My family will love it! Looks yummy.
These look incredible! I need them in my life asap.

Reading is fundamental. Cannot believe so many people don’t read the notes or comments, then keep asking the same thing. SMH
Thank you!
I thought the same thing, I always read the directions and notes twice. Sheesh!
What chili recipe did you use for these?
I used this recipe but without the steak! 🙂

This recipe blows. There is no way you can get grill marks in the oven. Did you use a soldering iron or something to make them dogs look nice?
George, you can prepare the hot dogs to your liking. As mentioned both in the notes and in the comments, grill marks were made for photographic purposes only. I hope that clarifies your issues with this recipe.
Place hot dogs on baking sheet and then what ? Where did the grill marks come from ? Take them over the top by adding celery salt just before eating.

The picture looks as though the hot dogs were grilled! Can’t imagine that the oven baking would cause those grill marks> I make these all the time but I pan grill them first, cut the dogs open , fill them and then place them in the oven They are delish and great to serve to a large crowd.
