Keto Chili Cheese Dogs

Keto Chili Cheese Dogs are a delicious low-carb twist on the classic American snack, perfect for satisfying cravings without the guilt. Topped with rich chili and gooey cheese, these hot dogs are a hearty treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 2 large beef hot dogs
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup low-carb chili (canned or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons diced onions
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 low-carb hot dog buns (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onions until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the low-carb chili to the skillet, followed by the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
4. While the chili is simmering, place the beef hot dogs on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until heated through.
5. Remove the hot dogs from the oven and place them in the optional low-carb buns if using.
6. Top each hot dog generously with the chili mixture, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
7. Return the loaded hot dogs to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve hot, garnished with additional diced onions or other toppings if desired.
