How to Make Al S Chili Dogs

  4. Lay out 6 hot dog buns on plates.
  5. Place a cooked hot dog in each bun.
  6. Generously top each hot dog with chili.
  7. Add 1-2 slices of cheese to each chili dog (about 4 ounces total).
  8. Layer lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on top of the cheese.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! Customize with your favorite toppings.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
