Baked Chili Cheese Hot Dogs

It's officially summer and what says summer is better than an All American Dog - Baked Chili Cheese Hot Dogs with Homemade Chili Sauce that is!!

This is truly one of my husband's favorite things to eat... A Hot Dog - Go Figure! Not a big juicy steak or Italian meal fit for a king!! NO - A HOT DOG!  He grew up eating his dogs boiled.  That totally grosses me out! I want mine grilled or pan-fried!!! But we both agree these Baked Chili Cheese Hot Dogs are over the top delicious.

What is your favorite way to dress your DOG?  There are so many choices there's no way I can remember them all!!! Like Chicago style or maybe with some Kraut (My mom's fav). Are you a ketchup or mustard (I am raising my hand here) LOVER?  Oh and have you ever put mayo on it??

Do you do onions, relish (sweet or dill), or maybe some peppers?  Head on down to the comment section and let me know what makes your little heart sing on your frankfurter!! I really do want to know friends!!!

THE CHILI SAUCE

Start with your ground beef, add your chili powder and spices, and pour in tomato sauce, ketchup and water. Squeeze in your mustard and dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Stir it all up really well!!! Let it simmer for 15 minutes.
