Gluten Free Chili Cheese Dogs Recipe

It’s almost August, the hottest month of the year here in Georgia. If you’re anything like us, you don’t want to heat up the house by making intricate meals in the kitchen. We don’t want to make the air conditioner work any harder than it already is, so a lot of our recipes are easy, quick, and made outside on the grill.
Gluten Free Chili Cheese Dog Recipe
When Canyon Bakehouse reached out and offered to send us some of their gluten free bread products, we were thrilled. Canyon Bakehouse has gluten free bread that even the gluten-eaters in the family enjoy, which is definitely a compliment. When our bagels, hot dog buns, and hamburger buns arrived, we knew exactly what we were going to do with the hot dog buns. Yep, we were going to make that old family favorite: chili cheese dogs.

We made our easy, three ingredient gluten free chili to go on top of the hot dogs, then topped them with cheddar cheese and diced onion. Serve with a side salad, and you’ve got an easy dinner the whole family will love!  Not feeling chili cheese dogs?

Here are some other fun hot dog topping ideas:
