Hot dogs are perfect summertime food. You can make a whole hot dog fix-it bar for a fun picnic party. Just have plenty of fixings so everyone can customize their own dogs.
My son was very excited to try a chili dog for the first time. I think I may have created a chili dog maniac. He wanted a chili dog for dinner and breakfast the next day too.
This chili dog recipe is really easy and it will really make your hot dogs extra special.
