SLOW COOKER CHILI CONEY DOGS RECIPE

These slow cooker chili Coney dogs are so easy to make because the hot dogs and the savory ground beef meat sauce cook together at the same time in the slow cooker. 

This is one of my family’s favorite summertime meals. The kid favorite hot dog, topped with a rich and hearty ground beef chili, shredded cheese, and white onion (if wanted). So delicious and even better when you broil them in the oven before serving. 

A Coney Dog is a hot dog in a bun that is topped with a savory meat sauce and other toppings like cheese and onion. All you need are some simple ingredients to make your own right at home. 

Ground Beef

Water

Tomato Sauce

Worcestershire Sauce

Dried Minced Onion

Garlic Powder

Ground Mustard

Chili Powder

Black Pepper

Cayenne Pepper – Totally optional if you want some heat. I never add this because kids… 🙂 

MY TIPS WHEN MAKING SLOW COOKER CHILI CONEY DOGS

– My kids prefer turkey hot dogs so that is what I always use in this recipe. They cook a lot faster and don’t need as long of cook time as all beef hot dogs do. I find that when I use turkey hot dogs that I only need to set the slow cooker time for 3 hours. 

– This is how I serve these chili Coney dogs. I put the 8 hot dog buns into a 9×13 baking dish. Place a hot dog in each bun, and then top each hot dog with some of the ground beef chili. Sprinkle however much shredded cheese  you want and then top with some finely chopped white onions. I then broil it on high (watch it so closely!) for a few minutes. The cheese melts. The buns get some crisp to them. And it just tastes really yummy. 

– If you’re in a hurry then just simply serve the Coney dogs straight from the slow cooker inside some hot dog buns and with toppings. Either way is yummy. 

– We love to top ours with crushed up Fritos corn chips. Really good with the extra crunch.

– Even if you don’t like onions try them just once. They add so much to these hot dogs and I highly recommend them as a topping.
