It's Wednesday I have the day off and I'm hungry. So I thought, what the hell let's have a chili dog. Here's how I did it.
Stuff:
4 Hot Dogs (Nathan's if you can get'em)
1 Jar/Can/Jug/Bucket of Chili. As far as store bought chili goes I really like Bush's but whatever.
Hot dog buns
Plates
Cheese!!! I used Colby jack but whatever you like.
Here's what I used. I didn't have hotdog buns so I went with hamburger buns. We're going open faced today.
As hotdogs go you can do no better then Nathan's. I know some people swear by hebrew national, but I find Nathans to be better.
Oh, and Bush's Chili this stuff beats the crap out of anything else I've tried. Granted the other stuff I've had is the $0.87 canned chili type product.
My buns were frozen so I had to nuke'em up a bit. While they're cooking I lit my grill and set it to high.
Protip: If you're going to be grilling hotdogs try this for me just once. Cut the tips of your dogs crosswise. Cut in from the end of the dog by about a quarter of an inch. Making... a cross shaped cut this will open up a bit and give the ends of your dogs a sort of square shape so that they're easier to turn. Try it!

Grill'n up some dogs. You don't really need to grill your buns if yours arent frozen as mine were.
YUM! I only cut mine one way 'cause I was lazy. but you really should cut them both ways.
and here we have my open faced chili dogs!
Now, I know there isn't a lot of intricate cooking here. But I promise this was a tasty lunch and also very quick.
Highlights:
Hotdogs keep in the fridge for a long time.
Chili Keeps forever
Buns keep forever in the freezer
this means that if you keep this stuff on hand you're going to be a heroe when you and your buddies are hungry.
