Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the microwave or warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
Variations:
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the chili mixture.
- Substitute the beef hot dogs with turkey or chicken hot dogs for a lighter option.
- Add cooked bell peppers or mushrooms to the mixture for extra veggies.
- Use different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or gouda, for a unique flavor.
