How To Make Chili Dogs!

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese cuts calories while still providing creaminess.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: banana peppers

💰Cheaper: green bell peppers

Banana peppers provide a milder flavor at a lower cost.

hot dog buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: regular bread

Whole grain buns offer more fiber, while regular bread is often less expensive.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Spread out 3 to 6 buns in an oven safe Pyrex and spray the inside of each bun with spray oil.

Cook the buns for 5 to 10 minutes just until they are lightly toasted.

Heat up your hot dogs however you would like (BBQ, boil in water or microwave).

Put your hot dogs in the buns and cover with chili, cheese, and onions.

Put back into the oven and cook another 5 to 10 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and the chili is bubbling.
