Magic Chili Cheese Dog Boats!
Ingredients
- 1 8 pack of hot dog buns roll style, not split top
- 1/2 cup salted butter melted
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
- 8 slices cheddar cheese OR your favorite kind
- 1 15- ounce Can of your favorite Chili or leftover homemade
- 1 medium onion diced
Instructions
- Arrange your buns in a 9x13 baking dish, then preheat oven to 350F
- Cut out rectangles in the centers of each bun, making sure to stay centered, you still want there to be an 'edge' on your boats 🙂
- Push down the bread cut-outs on each press down a bit, this portion of the bun tightly into the bottom of each bun
- Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley in a small bowl, then brush the buns and the hollowed insides with the garlic butter mixture, reserving a small amount of your onions.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes to toast the buns and get them nice and firm to hold all that filling
- Place a slices of cheese inside each bun, then spoon some chili inside, one by one.
- Take your hot dogs and cut just the tips off of both ends before placing them inside the boats
- Slide the hot dogs in each boat, press down to get them snug in there, then top with more chili.
- In the small amount of reserved butter/garlic mixture, add in your diced onions and mix, then evenly top each hot dog with some.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes OR until the cheese is golden brown
- ENJOY!

These are to die for…w great pictures too! Nothing like a warm gooey chilli cheese dog for comfort food, huh?
Who ever said hot dogs are only good made on an outdoor grill? BTW, you could make these a cut them into thirds instead of buying hotdogs for appetizers! Much better than little bagel dog frozen appetizers I’m sure:)

Whole lot of silly bullshit for a chili cheese dog.
