My mother isn't allowed to have chili dogs anymore.
Once, when she was pregnant with my brother, she needed a chili dog so bad, she made my stepfather get a ticket for making an illegal left turn. That was the end of chili dogs for her.
But I can understand. Okay, my pregnancy cravings never ran toward Coney dogs, but hey, what's not to like. Zesty, meaty chili. Zippy, stringy cheese. The ever popular hot dog. It's a classic combination.
Actually, on a pizza, chili dogs have all the fun of the original, but none of the drippy mess.
Chili Dog Pizza
1 pizza crust
1 cup chili (homemade, take-out, canned, whatever)
½ c. light red kidney beans
8 hot dogs, sliced into coins
1 c. shredded sharp cheddar
1 c. shredded mozzarella
Onions, relish, ketchup, mustard, etc. (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pizza crust on baking sheet.
Mash kidney beans with a fork. Stir into chili until combined. Spread over pizza crust. Scatter hot dog slices over chili. Top with cheeses. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve favorite frankfurter condiments for topping individual slices.

That looks awesome! I am going to have to make that the next time we have everyone over for football.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about this recipe is that it can be as easy as you're willing to make it. You can do it all with convenience products, or do it all from scratch, or anyplace in between.
