Summer should definitely equal at least one day of really good Chili Dogs. I don’t mean opening up some can of chili, I’m talking about slow cooking a big ole pot of homemade chili that’s packed with chunks of beef, onions and peppers. Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. Who’s with me on this?
Letting the slow cooker do the work for you, frees you up to sip a cold one or make other deliciousness for your Labor Day BBQ party.
