Notes
- Toast the buns: To prevent the hot dog buns from becoming soggy, toast them lightly in the oven before adding the hot dogs and chili.
- Freshly shred the cheese: Shredding cheese straight from the block is always better than prepackaged. It doesn’t have additives to keep it from sticking together so it melts easier and more evenly.
- Add toppings before baking: Add the onions and fresh jalapenos before baking to slightly soften them. It also keeps them from falling off.
