Peacherina, if you love chili dogs you really must try our version of chili dogs. We make a batch of chili using French's Original Chili-O seasoning mix and have chili one night for dinner. The French's Chili-O is the easiest and best tasting prepared chili seasoning mix that we have ever had. The next night we use the left over chili to make chili dogs. We do recommend omitting the kidney beans if you wan to make the chili dogs with the leftovers. The kidney beans are a bit lumpy for the chili dogs.

thanks for that tip about the french's I will have to try that.

A college friend of mine always used to say, if a chili dog is made right, it cannot be picked up and must be eaten with a fork. Sounds about right to me.

I agree...it seems that (even though usually bad for you) sloppy/messy food coincides with great taste. If you cant pick it up, then is must be good...like a burger that is too messy to pick up.

you know on a show one day they were showing the best burgers in America and I saw a couple that were like that really messy. They looked so good.
