Chili
When my recipe tester, Joy, tried this at home, her son saw the chili and said, "Let's make chili dogs!" We thought it was a great idea. My husband would climb a spiked wall for a good chili dog. Now that I know how to prepare this, I can give him a delicious one at home. Boil or grill the hot dogs, place them in buns and ladle a few spoonfuls of chili over top.
