Chili Dog Pizza

It's a little kid's perfect food - hot dogs and pizza. Ok it's my perfect food too....

This is a great way to use up leftover chili if you have some! I didn't so I made a quick, simple chili. It was so good! And if you don't feel like using "homemade" then get a can of chili and a pre-made crust and you'll have supper in 30 minutes! This made a BIG 9x13 pan pizza.

*sprinkle some chopped raw onion on top of your slice...if you are one of those strange people who like raw onion!



Chili Dog Pizza

For the chili:
1lb hamburger
1 can chili beans
1 can tomato sauce
1 small can tomato paste
2T chili powder
1tsp cayenne pepper

Brown the hamburger in a large skillet. Drain excess grease and add the remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. * you won't use all of this for the pizza *

For pizza:
2pkgs pizza crust mix - prepared (add in a tablespoon of chili powder for an extra mmmm)
1/4C yellow mustard
4 hot dogs - sliced
2C shredded cheddar

In a greased 9x13 baking sheet press out your dough. Slather on the mustard. Top with 2 cups of the chili and then add on the hot dogs. Sprinkle with the cheddar. Bake in a 425* oven for 20-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly and crust is cooked through.

This recipe is sooooo adaptable! Add in your favorite chili dog toppings, flavors, ect! Don't be scared to experiment!! Pin It 1
