Campfire Chili Dogs
Ingredients:
- 6 hot dogs
- 12 strips of bacon
- 6 hot dog buns
- 1 cup chili (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your preferred type)
- Your favourite condiments (e.g., ketchup, mustard, onions, etc.)
Directions:
1. Preheat your campfire until you have a good bed of hot coals.
2. Wrap each hot dog with two strips of bacon, securing the ends with wooden skewers or long roasting sticks.
3. Hold the bacon-wrapped hot dogs over the campfire, rotating them occasionally, until the bacon becomes crispy and the hot dogs are thoroughly heated. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
4. While the hot dogs are cooking, warm the chili in a pot or over the campfire until it’s hot and ready to serve.
5. Toast the hot dog buns over the campfire for a few seconds, just enough to give them a light char and warm them up.
6. Assemble the campfire chili dogs by placing a bacon-wrapped hot dog into each bun. Top each hot dog with a generous scoop of chili and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Add your favourite condiments to taste.
