FAQs& Tips

What Are Chili Cheese Dogs?

Chili cheese dogs are hot dogs topped with chili. 

What type of chili should you use?

I always use my hot dog chili with this recipe. Having said that, any chili will work. I have plenty of chili recipes to choose from:

• Old Fashioned Chili
• Chorizo Beef Chili
• Turkey Chili
• Bean-Free Chili

What type of hot dogs should you use?

Use your favorite brand of hot dogs for this recipe. It seriously doesn’t matter. Hot dogs have gotten a bad rap over the years and rightfully so. The stereotype is that most commercial hot dogs are made of with a mixture ingredients you can’t pronounce. Nowadays there are plenty of healthier hot dog options. Many brands make uncured hot dogs with all-natural ingredients.

How do you store leftovers?

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. 

What size air fryer did I use?
