If you’re like me, you’re going to want to do as much cooking outside when the weather permits as possible. That’s why I grill these on the gas grill on the patio. The flavor is so much more better I think when they are cooked up that way. If you are stuck inside on a rainy or cold day, that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy a good ol’ chili mac and cheese dog. You can also do these up in a skillet, boil them, or even stick the dogs in the microwave. You don’t have to go without just because you can’t fire up the grill. Just wait and see how much your kids like these. You’ll be making them all the time!

Ingredients
8 good quality all beef hot dogs
8 hot dog buns
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1 can Hormel no bean chili
1 can Hunt’s petite diced tomatoes, undrained
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 cups water
2 cups Barilla macaroni noodles
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
Sour cream, green onions, and/or diced onions and jalapeno for topping
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add onion and jalapeno and saute until softened. Stir in the Hormel chili, tomatoes, chili powder, and paprika and heat through. Add the water and bring to a boil.
Stir in the macaroni noodles, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are softened and most of the liquid is absorbed. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Stir in 1½ cups of the cheese until smooth.
Grill the hot dogs and buns to your liking. Top each dog with a scoop of chili mac and the remaining shredded cheese. Garnish with sour cream, green onions, diced onions, or jalapeno as desired.
