Of course, I made a heaping pot of chili in the crock pot for dinner last night, and so what seems like a good idea after that?
Chili dogs.
Not sure what sides I will have with them. Maybe mac and cheese or something, with a little veggie cause I need my veggies to keep the grinders working tip top shape you know.
Do you like chili dogs?

@Tampa_girl7 Hmm. I have never had slaw on a chili dog. I can imagine that would be interesting.

No, we wouldn't eat that. I hope you enjoy it, though.

@porwest We don't eat hotdogs. Your chili still sounds wonderful to me.

I love chili and especially chili dogs topped off with some minced onion, shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream

Don’t think I’ve ever had chili dogs. At least cannot recall. Are they very spicy? I’ve been craving for hot dogs lately. I’d try a chili dog if I can find a restaurant that serves it.

@porwest I don’t know a place near me that has hot dogs on the menu but if I go to Yelp and type the word hot dog maybe it will bring up places with hot dog on the menu.

@porwest for some reason chili makes me think of chili pepper lol. Is that even in the ingredients?

They are only spicy if you make a spicy chili. In our house we don't because we don't like spicy food, so ours will be good but not hot.
As for Chili dogs I would think that New York would be the place to find a hot dog, let alone a chili dog.

@RebeccasFarm A&W always had good ones. Years ago I used to go to Wienerschnitzel's and they had really good ones. Dairy Queen does them too and they are pretty good. But nothing beats homemade with homemade chili.
I will tell you. Wendy's should do one. They already have their famous chili.

@MALUSE Oh. No. Don't get me wrong. There is a spice called chili, but it was not the chili I was referring to, but rather the dish called chili which is different, and may or may not contain chili spice depending on the recipe being used.

I love chili dogs, but it’s been a while since I’ve had one. And I’ve been itching to make a pot of chili, but I’ve been waiting for cooler weather to arrive. So far no luck on winter here in Florida.

@kobesbuddy My wife and I often joke, because we both equally loves onions and garlic, that we must also love bad breath. lol

Chili on a baked potato is really good, too. Cut the potato open and add the chili, I don't add cheese to everything like a lot of people do, but a good cheddar is excellent on top of this. So good.

That is awesome and I had forgotten about that option, which is weird, because we often have what we call Manwich potatoes, which is just a loaded baked potato with ground beef with Manwich on top along with all the other goodies one might put on top of a loaded potato.

Chili on a baked potato is excellent comfort food on a cold winter day, too. I've never tried the Manwich option. But it does sound very good.
