Copycat A&W Beef Chili Dogs

Coney Island Beef Chili Dogs – Otherwise Known as A&W Chili Dogs

Simplicity.

One of those types of meals that has comfort written all over it.

Loaded. Beefy. Classic carnival food kind of good. Beef Chili Dogs, a food truck concession that brings droves of customers to stand in line, pay up a few bucks and walk away feeling satisfied.

Kind of like Walking Tacos or a Freshly Squeezed Lemonade…unbeatable flavor!

Hot Dog Sauce is Where It’s At

You’ll want to load up on this, because its so much better than to hold back and keep it for the hot dogs alone

Load it up over fries, a baked potato, or chow down on this chili all on its own. This is a meal in itself.

However–it’s also perfect to make a Chili Dog with so we totally get that you might reserve this hot dog sauce specifically for Chili Dog day. We get it.

Easy Chili is Always a Winner

We love a good chili recipe…and we’ve made more than our fair share of chili recipes. If you’re looking for a new chili recipe, here are a few we absolutely love:

1. Weight Watchers Chili
2. Black Bean Chili Dip
3. Crockin White Chicken Chili
4. Best Chili Mac Worldwide
5. Game Day Chili

No matter what type of chili you’re after, you’ll love all of these tasty recipes. So good!

If you’ve been craving a hot dog and chili, combine the two for the perfect chili dog loaded with sauce, cheese and onions. Really, you can mix things up and put whatever your favorite toppings are on top of that delicious hot dog.

We like to load ours up with cheese and onions, but have a selection of toppings on hand if you’re feeding a crowd so everyone can pick their own faves!

Enjoy!
