Game Day snacks: Your favorite peeps will love these mini chili cheese dogs.

These are best enjoyed immediately after coming out of the oven.

I have been dying to make these miniature chili cheese dogs; I’ve had the recipe saved on TikTok for months.

And I finally had the chance last Saturday.

It was a football-watching day with friends, so I bought all the ingredients I needed to make these cute appetizers - and they didn’t disappoint.

I made two big pans of them in no time and they were scarfed down in minutes.

If you like hot dogs and chili on a fall day, give this recipe a try.

It’s a crowd-pleasing dish I’ll have on repeat.

WHAT YOU NEED

Hormel chili (next time I will make homemade)

Hawaiian rolls

Lil’ smokies

Butter

Garlic powder

Shredded cheese

Onion, diced

Sliced jalapenos

This is how the dogs should look before they're topped with onion, chili and cheese.

HOW TO MAKE THEM

Lightly spray a 9x13 inch pan to keep the bread from sticking.

Cut out a small slice in each roll to make room for the Lil’ smokie.

Melt ½ stick of butter and garlic powder; brush the mixture over each roll, making sure to get some in the center.

Stuff each roll with a smokie, top with chili, cheese, onion and a slice of jalapeno.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until everything is melty and lightly browned.

Enjoy!
