Hot Dog of the Game: Bills at Vikings

Minnesota Vikings – The Gopher Dog

Today we have the gopher dog – a hot dog topped with bean-less chili, meat sauce, diced onions and crushed Fritos. This is a version developed to honor the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers and swaps out shredded cheese for a cheese sauce and the addition of Fritos corn chips for some crunch. It’s a filling dog on a cool day. Grab your favorite off the shelf bean-less chili and cheese sauce or prep your own. Nacho cheese can play off the concession stand vibes, but I made a basic sharp cheddar cheese sauce with evaporated milk and some franks. The bun can be toasted, but I prefer a steamed bun, so I went that route.

2 each Side slice hot dog buns (Steamed or Toasted)
2 each Wardynski’s All-Natural Hot Dog
3 ounces Bean-Less Chili

Preparation

Place hot dog in steamed or toasted bun.

Ladle 1.5 ounces of bean-less chili along the length of the dog.
