Grilled Chili Cheese Dog Dip

Grilled Chili Cheese Dog Dip

David Venable

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Serves: 6 to 8

Ingredients

  • 2 (9.6-oz) boxes frozen mini pretzel dogs, thawed
  • 2-1/2 cups prepared chili
  • 1 (7.5-oz) container chive and onion cream cheese
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/3 cup pickled jalapeños
  • 3 Tbsp chopped scallions

Preparation

Preheat the grill on one side to medium high heat.

Spray a 12" cast iron, or grill safe pan with nonstick cooking spray. Stand the pretzel dogs up around the perimeter of the pan, tucking them in tightly to fit.

In a medium mixing bowl, add the chili, cream cheese and 1-1/2 cups of cheddar cheese. Mix until combined.

Spread the chili mixture in the center of the pan. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.

Place the pan on the indirect heat side of the grill and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until the dip is hot and bubbly.

Remove from the grill and let sit 5 minutes. Top with the pickled jalapeños and scallions and serve.

Cook's Notes

If you don’t have chive and onion cream cheese, you could substitute scallion or plain cream cheese. This dip could also be prepared in a preheated 350°F oven. Lightly cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbly.
