Baked Hot Dogs


     Forget the grill this weekend, for your Memorial Day cook out why not try these Baked Hot Dogs in your dutch oven?  I was so intrigued by this recipe when I saw it, one of my favorite ways to eat a hot dog is with a soft, steamed roll.  By baking the hot dogs with all the toppings together, everything is wonderfully heated through and piping hot at the same time.  I thought maybe the rolls would burn in spots but they were perfectly baked, warm inside and a little crispy on the outside.
      I just squeezed 7 hot dogs in my 12 inch oven, you'll need a larger dutch oven for the full recipe.  They baked with 12 coals in a ring around the bottom and 24 spaced evenly on the lid for exactly 40 minutes.  Be sure to spread the buns with a little mayo, it prevents the rolls from becoming soggy. 
     You can certainly make these with veggie dogs or even cut them in half and serve them as an appetizer.  Scale the recipe back for your 8 or 10 inch oven but whatever you do, pack the forks because these are a little too cheesy and good to eat with your fingers. 
     I hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday and don't forget to take a moment to honor and remember our brave and dedicated veterans who have gone before us.

  3. Howdy Liddy, I tried this tonight. Jury is still out for me on this. They were delicious to eat, but I'm waiting to see how they settle. Don't have quite the cast-iron (pun intended) stomach I used to.

    Actually only made 5 dogs as there are only three of us tonight. I ate a dog and a half and was full. Used Hebrew National beef dogs. With 12 coals under and 24 on top, when I checked at the thirty-minute mark the chili was bubbling and the cheese was well melted so I called it done. (Probably could back off the number of coals by a couple and be just fine.) The buns were soft on the inside and a little crisp on the outside, but not burned. You're right about needing a fork to eat these.

    My one piece of advice to future cookers of these is line your ovens with foil or parchment! I did not and although I have pretty well seasoned ovens, I spent more than a few minutes scrubbing cheese and chili residue out of the bottom of my oven. A simple liner would have make the cleanup waaaaaay easier.

    Thanks for the thought to remember our service men and women.

    Keep 'em coming!---K.C.

    1. Thanks for your review K.C., hope you survived the chili dogs, I didn't have a problem with clean up because I sprayed my oven well before baking but I'm all for making life easier and lining with parchment is a good idea. Have a good holiday, Liddy

  7. Every camping trip, our first nights dinner is Chili Dogs so when I saw this I knew we had to try it! They were great!! I will definitely try them again with more cheese and chili to help soften the bottom of the buns - or maybe no coals underneath. The buns had a great crisp on the bottom but it made them hard to cut on a paper plate!! Thank you for the great idea - makes cleanup so much easier when it's all in one pot!
