Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 mini slider buns
  • 12 hot dogs, cut in half
  • 1 can (15 oz) chili (with or without beans)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Optional Toppings

  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ¼ cup sliced jalapeños
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare the Slider Buns: Place the mini slider buns cut side up on a baking sheet to create a stable base for the toppings.
  3. Add Hot Dogs: Arrange the halved hot dogs on top of each slider bun evenly.
  4. Spread the Chili: Spoon chili over the hot dogs, covering them well to infuse each slider with rich flavor.
  5. Top with Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili to create a cheesy layer.
  6. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle diced onions and sliced jalapeños on top of the cheese for added flavor and texture.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, indicating the sliders are heated through.
  8. Garnish: Once baked, remove the sliders from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a fresh touch.
  9. Serve Immediately: Allow sliders to cool slightly, then serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • You can use chili with or without beans based on your preference.
  • Mustard can be added to taste either before or after baking.
  • Adjust jalapeño quantity for spiciness according to your liking.
  • These sliders are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven briefly if needed.
