Chili cheese dog bites you need for your tailgate

Don’t forget to invite these mini chili cheese dogs to your Super Bowl party. They’ll be the life of the party.

I don’t know about you, but I love to eat when I’m at a Super Bowl party. And when I spot chili cheese dogs up for grabs, you can definitely count me in. These mini dogs are a perfect game day appetizer not only because they’re an American classic, but also because they taste SO darn good. Did I mention how easy these are to make? It’s a good thing too because your guests will eat them up so fast you’ll need to keep making more.
