Chilli Dogs

Jump to Recipe

A fun, quick, easy, super delicious Hot Dog supper using either Chilli Con Carne or Vegetarian Lentil Chilli with Black Beans, Sweetcorn and Chick Peas.

A fabulous supper to throw together on any night of the week but I particularly love them on the weekend or as a perfect accompaniment to watching sport on television. I confess though, how anyone can eat these without a knife and fork is beyond me! I would need a full body bib and a shower afterwards!

How to make Chilli Dogs

Although delicious served simply: bread roll, sausage and chilli, these Dogs are even better fully loaded with your favourite toppings. See suggestions below for inspiration.

Collect all your ingredients together:

• finger rolls – I like Brioche finger rolls but just use whatever you like best
• hot dog sausages – I use Bratwurst or you can use your favourite vegetarian alternative
• chilli – either Chilli Con Carne or Vegetarian Chilli

Suggested toppings:

• guacamole or slices of avocado
• salsa or chopped tomatoes
• sour cream
• grated cheese – I use mature cheddar
• chopped coriander
• sliced red chilli
• lime wedges

Assemble the Chilli Dogs:

Before you start, just check how long it takes to heat or cook your chosen sausages. I use pre-cooked Bratwurst and these take only 5 minutes to heat through. If yours take longer, you will need to start them sooner. When you have everything ready, all you need to do is throw it all together:

1. Slice down the centre of each bread roll ¾ of the way but not all the way through and lay on a baking tray and warm in a preheated oven for 5 minutes.
2. Whilst the rolls are warming, heat your chilli and the sausages, according to packet instructions.
3. Prepare any other toppings for your chilli dogs – such as grating some cheese, chopping coriander and/or fresh chillis. We kept it quite simple when we ate these with sour cream, coriander and grated cheese.
4. When the rolls are ready all you need to do is fill the bread rolls with the sausages, top with your chosen chilli and then add your prepared toppings.
