This isn’t your regular chili cheese hot dog. This grown-up hot dog recipe has an all-beef hot dog grilled and smothered in chili mac, onions, and mustard. You might need a fork and knife for this monster hot dog.
I have to give credit to my kid for coming up with this hot dog recipe. He is 5 and like most 5 years olds they are connoisseurs of hot dogs and mac and cheese. The adults tossed in the idea of chili and once we were done imagining our monster cheesy chili dog creation we hit the store.
