CHILI CHEESE DOG BITES • with a magnificent cheddar cheese taco shell. The chili alone is so dang delicious- matched with a smoked hot dog and fried cheese is unreal 🔥😮💨 • INGREDIENTS: 6 or 8 pack of hot dogs (I used @tebbenrancheswagyu) 2-3 C shredded cheddar cheese • CHILI: 1lb ground beef (I used @tebbenrancheswagyu) 1/2 white onion diced 4 cloves garlic diced 2 tomatoes diced 2 tsp chili powder 3 Tbsp tomato paste 1 tsp cumin 2 tsp smoked paprika 1/4 C flour 1-2 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 1.5 C beef stock or water • INSTRUCTIONS: -Preheat pellet grill to 225°F (or gas grill on high, conventional oven at 350°F) and cross-hatch hot dogs (I used @slotdogdotcom). Be sure the hot dogs are partially frozen AKA remove from freezer 15 mins before cutting. -Place hot dogs in the smoker for 30-45 mins (grill as usual for gas grill, 15 mins in conventional oven). -Get an oiled cast iron skillet piping hot and place in beef. Cook all the way and add the rest of the ingredients. Let that cook down for about 10-15 minutes all together on medium heat. -Once hot dogs are done, cut into thirds (1/3) and set aside. Remove skillet and grease up griddle with olive oil. Place cheese on griddle in small handfuls and allow to crisp up. Place 1/3 hot dogs in the middle and fold over. -Get toothpicks and dive in. Save some extra cheese for the final topping and enjoy! • TOOLS: @halo.pg ELITE2B griddle and PRIME550 pellet grill @scotsmanusa cutting board, @barebonesliving knives • Would you dive mouth-first into this?! 🔥🌭🔥🌭 • #hotdog #bbq #bbqlovers #foodie #pelletgrill #griddle #delicious #bbqtime #outdoorcooking #outdoors
