A chili cheese hot dog is a beautiful thing. But, in the ugly cute kind of way. And this Impossible™ Chili Cheese Hot Dog recipe does not disappoint. A fully meatless, yet meaty recipe that’s topped with a spiced tomato Impossible™ Ground Beef chili made from plants, then covered in a luscious cheese sauce with a layer of crunchy white onion. Need we say more?

Make the chili and cheese sauce beforehand in your kitchen, then take your dogs and buns outside to grill. Dress the Impossible™ Hot Dogs made from plants with plenty of chili, spoon some cheese sauce on top, and then add the chopped white onion.

  • 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 Teaspoons paprika
  • 2 Teaspoons dry mustard powder
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
  • 14 Ounce can crushed tomatoes with juices

4 steps
  1. Make the Impossible Chili

    Heat the oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and half the onion and cook, stirring, until onions are soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Crumble the Impossible Beef into the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chili powder, paprika, dry mustard powder, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and salt. Add the tomatoes and stock, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until thickened, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

  2. Get Saucy

    Combine cheese and water in a sauce pan. Heat slowly and whisk until well incorporated.

  3. Prepare the Impossible Hot Dogs

    Heat lightly oiled pan over medium-high heat. Place Impossible dogs in the pan and sear on all sides (caramelization = flavor!). Cook for 4-6 minutes or until hot dogs have reached an internal temperature of 145°F. For the grill, heat grill to approximately 400°F and place hot dogs on the grill. Turn the hot dogs 1 quarter-turn every 1-2 minutes for about 5 minutes, or until desired doneness.

  4. Build your chili cheese dogs

    Add an Impossible Hot Dog to each bun, and dress with chili and cheese sauce, and top with some remaining raw chopped onion to taste. Enjoy!
