Easy Chili Cheese Slow Cooker Dogs
Easy Chili Cheese Slow Cooker Hot Dogs – this recipe is so stupid simple but somehow it just tastes so good! You can also make them on the stovetop.
I’m going to share a old standby recipe of mine today. Â I’ve used this ‘recipe’ since the start of my marriage 14 years ago – and it’s one that’s never left our house. Â We just love it. Â It tastes really good, and it’s super easy. Â It requires just 4 ingredients, and 2 of them are the hot dogs & the buns. Â The other 2 are canned ingredients, and I always keep those on hand for this dish. Â Keeping these ingredients on hand in your pantry really helps save time on those busy days, and keeps you out of the drive-thru too – thus saving money. Â Saving money is nice…. I don’t like it when my wallet cries. Â It blows it’s nose funny.
Like I said – 4 ingredients. Â And, here they are:
Now, when I first started making this recipe, I used a can of cheddar cheese soup – but I have started seeing this cool little kit at Wal-Mart from Hormel. Â Technically, it’s a chili cheese dip kit….. but when I first saw it, I knew I had to try it out for my chili cheese dogs. The cheddar cheese soup is good…. but the Hormel cheese sauce tastes even better. Â I prefer my Hormel chili with no beans…. but if you like your legumes, by all means – bean it up.
The process is simple. Â Simply combine the Hormel chili & the cheese sauce together, pour it over your hot dogs (I like beef ones) & cook it on low in your slowcooker for 4-6 hours. Â OR – you can bypass the whole slowcooker method all together if you wish and cook it on low/medium with a lid on your pot for 30 minutes.
Pop your dogs in a bun, top with your chili cheese mixture – and if you want any other garnishes, garnish away. Â I’m a minced onion girl myself.
That’s it. Â They are absolutely delicious – and they are a very good reason to keep a can of Hormel chili & cheese sauce in your pantry at all times. Â Easy meal. Â Super cheap & thrifty. Â Plus, it’s yummy. Â Oh yeah.

THANK YOU!!! I have made this 3 times in the last week. My hubby is a picky eater. He was looking over my shoulder as I was reading this in my email. He said “Yes please.” I made it on the stove and used the soup since I did not find the cheese sauce at my grocery stores (Albertsons & Vons). He loves it. Says it is better than the foot long chili cheese dog at Sonic. Keep sharing.
