Chili Cheese Dogs

[Don Cash]

Sorry I missed all the fun last week. We were on the Outer Banks in a house that didn't have internet.

Check out these beauties.

Anyway, all the food that went on while we were gone looks awesome and thanks again to Chris for the MVP honor. I'm really flattered.

It was a fun but expensive trip so tonight it's a meal on the cheap, chili cheese dogs.

Not sure how most people cook their hotdogs but I've started to do them like this...indirect a few minutes and then move the one closest to the fire to the back and roll all of them towards the fire, kinda like hotdog roller thing you see in 7-11, only manual.

Do this for 2 beers worth of time (for me, ymmv) until done.

Then chili and cheese for those that want it (me) and back on--to melt the cheese--with the ones that don't (Leigh-Ann and Campbell).

Then off. Campbell only likes catchup on hers and Leigh-Ann is doing the low carb thing so no bun...

Then plate with some tots...

Thanks for looking!!

Great looking family Don! Glad to see you back and congrats again on your MVP! Your meal looks delicious! Would definitely scarf down a few of those!

Always love a good dog on the grill. As far as I am concerned you never need to apologize for an all American meal like that.

Don, Great looking meal, and I love the pic in front of the dunes. (It really got me OBX dreamin!) We have been doing a lot of dogs on the grill as of late, its the only way my sons will eat 'em now!
If I may, where abouts at the OBX did you stay? We have a place at Ocracoke for later this summer. Really looking forward to the relaxation.
again, great looking pics all around!

looks awesome. i do them this way when i have time.

i've also been known to open the can of chili and set it over direct heat, or even down in the coals to get it hot.

were you drinking PBR before it was cool to drink PBR?

Beauties, indeed, Don! And a proud Papa too!

Your cooks are so inspiring, Don, even something simple like chili dogs. The MVP is SO well-deserved - you have no idea! Thanks for everything, my friend! You da man!

 

[Don Cash]

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it.

We were up north near Corolla (if you know the area, we were about a mile north of the Food Lion, one house off the beach). Have fun on your trip...wish I was joining you.

Sorry, Wayne. Once we got down there and discovered that the rental house didn't have internet (I mean, it had a freakin' elevator but no internet?!?

) I didn't bother to document the cooks. It's amazing how reliant we have become on the internet. We missed it more than we should have.

I've done that before too but was nixed on that idea this time, if you know what I mean...

A perfect plate! Welcome back. We were worried.

 

[Jeremy Calow]

Looks like a fantastic cook Don, easy and tasty I am sure!!

 

[Andy Beers]

Hard to beat a hotdog on the grill

 

[Wolgast]

Looks supertasty! Love the pic of the Princess!

 

[Bill W. Michigan]

You put all those coney island joints to shame Don.

 

[Ulf Rasmussen]

nice dogs! love the idea with the melted cheese. looks delicious.

 

[Mickey]

Don, can I ask if you like the Castleberry's chili for hot dogs? Probably a dumb Q since it's what you use, but I can't find it around here. I can order some online though. We have Hormel chili that I doctor up for football season, but it's too chunky for chili dogs & burgers. Sorry for the lame question... -Mickey

Nice and simple Don! What a great idea...

Love your first couple pictures as well...You have a cutie on your hands! Better work on your cleaning your shotgun skills!!
