Baking Tips

For extra flavor, toast the buns before assembling.

Make the chili in advance and store it in the fridge for easy prep.

Use different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a twist.

If you like crispy buns, broil the mini hot dogs for an additional 1-2 minutes before serving.

Ingredients

Custard Cream

For the chili:

1/2 pound ground beef

1/2 small onion, finely diced

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1/4 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)

For the hot dogs:

12 mini hot dog buns or slider buns

12 cocktail sausages (or mini hot dogs)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced onions (optional for garnish)

1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional for spice)

1 tablespoon melted butter

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for brushing the buns)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease.

Add the diced onions and garlic to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Stir in the tomato sauce, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Simmer for 10-15 minutes until thickened.

While the chili is cooking, place the cocktail sausages on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, just until heated through.

Cut the mini buns down the middle without slicing all the way through. Brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.

Place a cocktail sausage into each bun. Spoon the chili over the sausages and top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Place the assembled mini hot dogs back on the baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from the oven and garnish with diced onions and sliced jalapeños if desired.

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious mini chili cheese dogs!
