Ingredients

• 8 beef hot dogs
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (15 oz) chili with beans
• 4 hamburger buns

2. In a saucepan over medium heat, add vegetable oil. Cook onions and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in chili with beans and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 2 minutes per side until slightly crispy.
5. Place a cooked hot dog in each bun, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese. Spoon the chili with beans over the cheese and top it off with chopped pickles and mustard. Serve immediately.
