Ingredients
- 1 can chili
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package hot dogs, sliced
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 can of chili, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 package of hot dogs (sliced), 1/2 cup of diced onions, 1/2 cup of diced bell peppers, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder.
- Prepare your vegetables by dicing the onions and bell peppers into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced hot dogs, diced onions, diced bell peppers, and chili powder. Mix well to ensure the hot dogs and vegetables are evenly coated with the chili powder.
- Pour the can of chili into the crock pot. Then add the mixture of hot dogs, onions, and bell peppers to the crock pot. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 2 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the hot dogs to heat through.
- After 2 hours of cooking, carefully remove the lid from the crock pot. Stir the mixture to ensure everything is well combined.
- Gradually add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture, stirring until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Once the cheese is fully melted and incorporated, taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may add more chili powder or salt according to your preference.
- Serve the chili cheese dog dip warm, using tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced bread for dipping. Enjoy your delicious creation!
Tips

- Dice onions and bell peppers finely to help them blend seamlessly into the mixture.
- Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for the best melting and flavor.
- Keep the crock pot on warm setting after cooking to maintain the perfect dipping consistency.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like pepper jack or add a sprinkle of green onions for extra zing.
- Serve with a variety of dippers like tortilla chips, crispy bread, or even fresh vegetable sticks.
