These baked chili dog sliders are simply hot dogs sandwiched into pull-apart rolls with melted cheese and chili sauce. An easy dinner idea for your family OR the ultimate party food!

I created this chili dog sliders recipe one night when I had no dinner plans and needed to use whatever I had on hand. We had hot dogs, but no hot dog buns. I did, however, have slider rolls so immediately thought about the baked ham and cheese sliders everyone loves and used that concept. They turned out SO good!

If you follow me on Instagram, you watched me making these in my stories the other day. Did you hear the "crunch" as I sliced through the sliders? These are heavenly, I tell ya!

Ingredients

This is basically another way to make chili cheese dogs and includes mostly the same items, with the exception of the rolls.

Here's what you need:

  • Hot dogs (4 regular bun size)
  • Slider rolls (12 ct.)
  • Chili sauce from a can (1 cup)
  • Shredded cheddar (1 cup)
  • Butter (2 tablespoons)
  • Onion powder
  • Garlic powder
  • Poppy seeds
  • Salt & pepper

You can also add chopped onions and other favorite hot dog fixin's. Make it your own!

Can Chili for Hot Dogs

There are many variations of chili sauce you can use for your chili hot dog. One of my favorites is Michigan sauce -- an upstate New York staple. Since that can be hard to find, use any canned chili without beans.

Some of the best store-bought chili brands are Skyline, Wolf, Hormel and Bush's. Pick what you love!

The Best Hot Dogs

We think Nathan's all-beef hot dogs are the best, but use your favorite! Other brands we like are Hebrew National and Ballpark.

Top Tips

For the best chili hot dog sliders, follow these tips:

  • Slice the hot dogs in half vertically before layering onto the rolls. This keeps them from rolling out of the sandwich and also doesn't overwhelm it.
  • Bake at 350 for at least 20 minutes. You want to be sure the middle is heated through and the rolls are crispy. Ooooh yeah!
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for best melty results. The pre-shredded is fine, too, but doesn't thoroughly melt and can be greasy.
  • Feel free to top the chili sauce with chopped onions or vary up the butter topping with more spices you love!
  • Let the hot sliders set about 5 minutes after removing from the oven and before slicing.
