Open Face Chili Dog

Submitted by gastroparesis

"Made with 'second day chili' (everyone knows chili is best the second day) this is a delicious way to eat a chili dog in a new way! When I was a child we used to make hotdogs this way from time to time (especially when there were no hotdog buns in the house but we had hamburger buns) and I discovered one day that it is a perfect platform for a heaping helping of chili! Eaten with a fork, this is one chilidog that attempts to step onto the good china :)"
