Chilli Dogs

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.

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Collect together your equipment (see Recipe Notes below) and ingredients.

  3. Preheat oven to Fan Oven 160°C /180°C/350°F/Gas 4

  4. 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.

  5. Whilst the rolls are warming, heat your chilli and the sausages, according to packet instructions.

  6. Prepare any toppings for your chilli dogs – such as grating some cheese, chopping coriander and/or fresh chillis.

  7. 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.
