Oven Hot Dogs

I’ve mastered the OHDs.
You needed to add more relish and more chili. I know. It seems like too much. But you have to pretty much stuff the bun with everything you can. That’s what makes it messy and delicious.

P.s. I can’t believe you told our family secret…

This must definitely be a Peet family thing because Grandma made those every time we took family trips to Double Lake. They would sit in the dash the whole way to the lake so they could stay warmed by the sun. And they are absolutely delicious.

I have never heard of OHDs, but I think this is how I will make them from now on…the look delicious!

You make hotdogs look good! ;) I had no idea a hotdog could look so appetizing. We will have to try this out!

Ive never heard of something as amazing as these!!!! im going to have to try them!

OH. MY. YUMMYNESS. This looks delicious. I love this idea, thank you so much for sharing it =)

I wish I’d seen this when the kids were still lil’ tykes. Now when I get caught making them I’ll have no excuse.

I have a somewhat secret addiction to hot dogs too, though my addiction generally involves a stick and a campfire. I’m going to have to give these a try though.

Is sweet relish different than plain ol’ relish?

Oh wow, those are great looking hot dogs. I want a bite!

When i was younger a friend of my parents would fix them for us. We called them Gale”s hot dogs. I still fix them today at least once or twice a month. Love them even now that i am 68. Thanks for shearring this with me, Charlie

I will substitue these with vegetarian frankfurters and chili because these sounf great!

something very simple, yet to die for!!! I love hot dogs with lotsa relish n onions

It looks so delicious! Absolutely mouth-watering!

Wow, I have never heard of baking hotdogs in the oven, but they look really good and next time I have some friends over, I think I’ll try it out! Thanks for sharing.

P.S. Whenever I try to duplicate my moms recipes, they never come out the same, no matter how simple it is :)

Out of all of the decadence on Foodgawker today, the one thing that caught my eye was your wonderful Oven Hot Dogs!! I love it. I’ve never made them this way. What a great idea.

These look soooo good! I will definitely be trying. Thanks so much for sharing your family recipe!

These look good !
Can I use something different then Relish ? We dont have relish where I live.Can i just use pickle or something?

You just made my friggin’ day! Holiday stress, work stress, what to make for dinner stress- I saw this and said that’s it- I’m makin’ oven baked doggies tonight- my wife will think I’m nuts, but hey, I’m cooking-some homemade fries-and viola’ perfect dinner. THank you-thank you , thank you……..

You know, now I will sit and eat 6 hotdogs and it’s all your fault. My kids will eat a few bites, and I can’t stand to throw out good food. I’ll be forced to finish them off. My husband will get one or two.
Seriously, this looks incredibly good. I love Sonic’s chili cheese dogs with onions, and this looks waaaaay better.

This is such a great idea, I can’t wait to try them!

I have a complete hotdog addiction too but these look to be the best I’ve ever seen. If I wasn’t having a really fussy-eating friend around for dinner I would have these tonight. They’ll have to wait ’til tomorrow….BUT NO LATER!

Sounds like the perfect food to serve at my Superbowl party! Thanks for sharing :)

Oh my god, these look amazing, but this is coming from a hot dog connoisseur. This is the first meal I’m making after christmas. Except I might put a chicago style spin on it using dill relish and adding sport peppers to whats already there. Looks soo yummy.

They look wonderful! Now you’ve got me craving these baked chili dogs!! :)

Never heard of these, but will try them ASAP with Varsity chili!

Can’t wait to make this for my kids. What a great idea!

[...] you!” to everyone for all the support over the last few days. I never expected my dad’s Oven Hot Dogs to be such a hit! It’s especially interesting to me to hear of other families who had similar [...]

I’d never heard of these before, but they looked delicious so we had to try them. My husband and kids loved them and I think they’ll be added as a repeating favorite! Thanks for sharing!

My dad cooked hot dogs like this when we were kids. The only difference he wrapped each individually in foil. When I married and had two stepsons, I made them, wrapped them in foil and we tossed them on the fire while camping. I love how you’d done them here… I’m going to make them like this soon! Thank you for bring such good memories back.

I made miniature versions of these without the chili and they were so good, I’m dying to make them again, only properly this time. I can’t even imagine them being better with chili. They were pretty darn amazing just on their own. Thanks for this recipe. I’d never heard of cooking hot dogs this way before and now I think this’ll be the only way I cook hot dogs ever again.

This sounds amazing!

And now I am sad because I too love hot dogs and all the stuff on there and they look like ridiculously messy, fantastic, comfort food, but I am too pregnant to eat these thanks to my buddies, heartburn and child kicking Mommy in the stomach… these are going on the things I haven’t been able to eat for a year list to be made upon arrival home from the hospital in a week.

I want to try these so badly…but I wonder how it would come out in the toaster oven…I’m such a toaster oven cooker! But I don’t want to mess them up because they look SO delish!!

I just made these today. Though I put some garlic in my mayo and added a bit of garlic chili sauce. Hot as hell, but oh so good. I also made a slaw with it. It was a very good dinner. Thanks to you and your dad.

[...] awesome to make that basically cooks itself. I searched high and low and found this recipe for Oven Hot Dogs. I’d never even heard of oven baked hot dogs let alone tried them, but the post was so [...]

Can’t wait to try these tonight! It’s a little early,7:45 AM, for hot dogs! 45 minutes at 350 sounds like a lot. Have you ever had them burn?

Can I use something else then 1 can of chili ???
I don’t know if I can find it where I live.

Great way to prepare hot dogs in the winter time!

Hi There! I never thought to bake a hot dog. I made these on this past Saturday. My niece LOVED them! They were really good and easy. Thanks for sharing!

Alyssa. I am making the hot dogs tonight. Ken always remembered them this way. Showed Ken the pics. Thank you for showing this recipe.

These are so easy to make and amazingly delicious. We used hoagie buns and sour cream instead of mayo because I didnt have everything, but I had high expectations and they still blew me away hahah. Thanks for sharing! Your descriptions were excellent.

Absolutely delicious! This translated very well to a vegetarian recipe. : ) I don’t take gorgeous picture like you, but I did make a blog post about my vegetarian version of your oven hot dogs!

: )

I love these!! I too am obsessed with hot dogs.. theres something about them that i just can seem to get enough of! I am making your recipe again tonight for dinner with friends for a second time because they all loved them so much the first time! thanks for enabling my love;)

I made them for the 2nd last night! They came out amazing!! The only thing that was different was the mustard I used. My sister loved them!!!

We’re making your oven hotdogs tonight. I can’t wait!

Laura

Ohhhh my my.These looks good.

These are in the oven right now! I printed the recipe weeks ago and now we’re ready to try! My onions were gross, so I hope the dried onions rehydrate under the chili for me. Thanks for sharing!!

My whole family is “chilli dog drunk” thanks to this recipe! So easy and SO good!!

So I’m making these right now. and they look so awesome. I’ve had this page open for days just waiting to make them. I’m so excited!!! :)

These are delicious! They remind me of the “Coney Island Special” dish that is popular in the Detroit area (that is hotdog with chili, mustard and onions). It’s a great “away from the hometown” meal! My husband loves these and has been asking for them all week!

Can’t wait to try these! I may substitute “Cincinnati/Skyline” chili for the regular chili and see how they turn out!

Thank you for sharing this recipe! I made these last night and they were AWESOME! I am looking forward to making them over and over again! I didnt hae the dijon mustard but they were great without it :)

this looks incredible! i didn’t think my favorite food could be improved upon, but you and your dad have definitely proved me wrong.i have a stupid question though- should the hot dogs be boiled before they go into the oven? thanks!

I’m making these for dinner tonight!! Mmm!!
And linking it up to my Tasty tuesday blog posts. It’ll be up this tuesday. Thanks for sharing :)

are the dogs cooked when you place them in the bun or do you put them on straight out of the fridge?

Yum, they look so good and I can’t wait to make some tonight but first I have important questions! How do these hold up in the fridge? Are they still good microwaved the day after? Do you poke holes in them as you would microwaving them? Thanks for the great share.

Never heard of it?! I don’t know why but I just assumed that everyone knew this , like people know the sun is bright. I was always taught that if you didn’t poke holes in them with a fork or knife the hot dogs would contort in weird shapes or explode! It’s been a while since I’ve tested this out though. Guess i’ll be cooking hotdogs and staring at the sun tomorrow.

45 MINUTES IN THE OVEN?

ARE YOU CRAZY?

How are they not burnt to an absolute crisp.

Do you use regular mayo or miracle whip? Im a miracle whip fan myself dont like regular but my husband doesnt like miracle whip lol he likes regular im just wondering if they would be good with either of them!!!

These are great! I made them tonight for the 3rd time since finding the recipe. They come out perfect when covered with foil @ 45 mins. Thanks for the recipe!

I noticed a couple other blogs took your recipe and copied it, almost to a T.

http://sunshineandbones.blogspot.com/2011/06/oven-hot-dogs.html

These look amazing! I really want to try them, but I know that I’ll probably have to end up eating them all since my family doesn’t appreciate these foods! Any tips on reheating after the batch is baked?

These look absolutely amazing! I will be trying it soon. I just have one question, do you cook the hot dogs first or no? I am a cooking noob jeje.

Saw this on pinterest What brand of hotdogs do you usually use? There are so many brands and types I never know what to buy! This sounds so easy I am making this tonight before trick or treating. Do you think they could be assembed ahead and placed in the fridge for a few hours before baking or would this make everything soggy?

Made these last week and they were FANTASTIC!!! Thanks so much!

These look sooo good. I saved them on my favorite bar and pinned them on pinterest. I went and got the stuff and figured I’d make them today at lunch because my sister and niece were suppose to be here. Thank god they canceled. I made them at dinner instead. I followed exactly. I love all the ingredients and ooey gooey comfort food. This was not for me at all! We threw more than half away and then I stole the hot dogs out of the buns and rinsed them and put them on a fresh bun for the kids… I’m glad it’s a family fave, but I don’t get what the deal is. Looked soooo much better than they tasted.

Going to make em for supper tonight … They look really good !

I showed this recipe to a friend and they made it whilst we were visiting. It was ok but didn’t wow me. Was kinda soggy, bland, and the bun was kinda hard where it wasn’t soggy. I wasn’t sure why, it sounded so good D:

That was months ago. The other night on a whim, me and the boyfriend decided to grab the few things we were missing for the recipe to try making it ourselves. WOW. What. A. Difference. I have NO idea what the friends did differently but sheesh. I THINK they didn’t cover it with foil when it cooked. Also, we used dill relish instead just because we prefer it.

We now have the basic ingredients sitting around to make it again when we don’t know what else to do. Awesome recipe!

Made a vegetarian version of these using Smart Dogs and Annie’s Vegetarian chili and it turned out fantastic. My husband, who is a meat eater and *real* hot dog lover loved them! I just passed this link on to my coworker who was wowed by just the mention of “baked hot dogs!” Thanks for posting this.

[...] omg. You would never know it from this horrid photo, so just click the link. We have just learned about oven hotdogs. [...]

[...] Friday:           Baked Chili Dogs [...]

Someone posted your recipe on Pinterest. I pinned it–to try later. Last night I had all the fixings and decided to give it a try. They are wonderful! The mayo (which sounds gross) does something extraordinary. I started out making them like individual hotdogs in a pan–trying to stuff each bun–at some point I started thinking of it as a casserole and just scattered the chopped onion and shredded cheese EVERYWHERE!! I was out of pickle relish so I subbed pickled banana peppers –it was still wonderful. This is our new way of making chili dogs from now on. Thanks so much for sharing!

These are absolutely delicious!! And I will be forever grateful to you for posting these!!! My entire family loves hot dogs but you can only eat them so much in a month. Now that I have this recipe we can’t wait to eat hot dogs!!! These are so amazingly delicious. Thank you so much for sharing!

Mine are in the oven now… They look sooo good!!! :D

I grew up on these and still make them now. We called them Coney Islands! I dont add the pickle relish though but it does sound like a great addition. I will add that next time.

These were SO good!! They are the perfect chili dog!! YUM. I was forced to do one thing different because I didn’t have mayo– I used mustard on the bun. It was like a wonderful chili dog with added zest from the relish and mustard! Can’t wait til I can make them again with all the right ingredients! Thanks for the Recipe!

thanks for sharing trying them tonight!

I am very excited to try these tonight. I do have a question though. I am only making 4 or 5. Do you think I should still cook them for 45 minutes? I found you on Pinterest. Thank you!

What if you don’t like mayo what would you suggest to use instead? I had a bad experience with mayo and my hubby hates it. I would love to try these. Sounds really good. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

wow

I made this recipe for my NFL Playoffs party this weekend, and loved it so much, I shared it on my blog (tiztheseason.wordpress.com). I will link it back to this page. Thanks! Monica@tiztheseason.wordpress.com.

These are unbelievably good! Making them for the second time this weekend. Can’t wait!

I made these and wrote about them here. They were a huge hit. Thank you so much for posting the recipe!!!

Making these for lunch today…we don’t really like mayo in our house though, is the mayo absolutely mandatory?

These look great.will definitely fix these.Thank you for sharing your family secret and child hood memories.

Do you really bake the buns w/ mayo for 45 min and then again once all the stuff is in them for 45 min?

Making these as I type!! Only 27 minutes to go! I am expecting to be blown away, especially because of all the positive feedback! I didn’t use the relish because I’m not a fan, and my chili, and mustard are different brands so I’m hoping they still taste as amazing as they look in your photos!

I have all the ingredients. I will make them today for dinner. They look so delicious!!

[...] this recipe for bubbly, cheesy hot diggity [...]

I’m making these tonight :) I did change a couple things with the recipe, like substituting butter for mayo and adding jalepenos. I hope they turn out well!

So do you bake the buns first by There self?

Made these tonight and they were a BIG HIT with the family! Thanks for the yummy recipe!

We made these tonight and wrapped the dogs with soft cooked bacon before placing them in the buns. They were AMAZING!!! Back on my diet tomorrow! Thank you for sharing!

Just popped this in the oven, CANTW AIT TO EAT!!!!

I am a hot dog lover myself…I love love love hot dogs! My family gets sick of them so when I ran across this recipe I was very very excited. Going out today to get the ingredients to try them tomorrow!!!!

Do you cook the hot dogs before you bake them??

This sounds like the perfect pot luck, actually, or work party bring-along. What is the “amazing thing” that happens with the mayo once it’s baked into the bun? I’m curious! I live alone so I can’t bake a tray of dogs until I have an event to cook for!

Made these tonight for supper yum yum thanks for posting!!!!

Saw these on pinterest a while back; finally decided to try them tonight. DELICIOUS! My fiance told me to keep it on our list of recipes. :) I will be brave next time and add more mayo. Thanks so much for sharing!

I made these last night, except I used dill relish & French’s classic yellow mustard. They were delicious! Definitely the way to eat a hot dog, for sure! My husband, our toddler son, and I all loved them. I will absolutely be making again. Thanks for the recipe! :)

OMG! This was good! I made them tonight. And they were so awesome that men respected me and women wanted me!

Wooohooo!

Thank you for sharing your family secret recipe! I made these for me and the beau last night, (first, he complained that I didn’t just slap them together and serve them within 10 min, but then…) he loved them and said they were the best chili-dogs he ever had! I had to agree, they were amazing! I omitted the sweet relish, we’re not big on it, but they still turned out tasty. He took the leftovers for lunch and they reheated well, too. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[...] Oven Hot Dogs We made these last week and I thought they were DELISH!! Messy and gooey but very tasty.  Hubs is not impressed with messy foods, so he could care less if they show up again.  But, I like my hot dogs and I liked these!!  Just make sure you follow her directions and don’t skimp on the mayo, mustard, the relish or the cheese. (Looking at this picture at 10:30 at night I am wanting one….) [...]

Sounds yummy we are having these tonight!

Made them tonight! WOWZERS! they are wonderful :)

We are going to have hot dogs for dinner tomorrow so I figured I would search pintrest for ideas. These sound and look amazing! It’s a go for tomorrow night!!

These are DELISH but why did my buns get hard? I followed the recipe and cook time/oven temp correctly. The whole bun wasn’t hard, the bottoms and the ends on some were.

[...] Recipe from: InTheWabe [...]

So do you really have to bake the buns with mayo for 45 mins first then bake another 45 mins with everything else on it? Seems like a lot

These are in the oven right now! 34 mins to go! Good thing I read the comments after I threw them in because I completely forgot to cover it with foil…. Hahha I bolted to the kitchen and fixed that real quick :]

OMG!!!! Those look amazing…I will be trying these this week…Thanks :O)

I am excited to try these, I am not a big fan of hot dogs but these look amazing. My son loves chili hot dogs he has a soccer game tonight and you guessed it, this is what we are having for dinner. Thank you for the idea and recipe

Tried these a few weeks ago. The family is begging for them again this week! They are officially on the menu for tonight. GREAT go to when we need a quick meal. So delicious! They are the perfect balance of everything that makes a chili dog a chili dog! Thanks for a recipe that really delivers!

[...] Tonight, I am making a  ridiculously unhealthy dinner that I CANNOT WAIT FOR! OVEN BAKED HOT DOGS found here: http://inthewabe.wordpress.com/2010/12/17/oven-hot-dogs/ [...]

When you bake the buns and mayo alone for 45 minutes….at what temp do you do that?????????

I have been making Hot Dogs like this for years but I wrap each one in foil…some time I stick them wrapped in the crock pot…everyone who has tried them “LOVE THEM” some time even if they are not fond of hot dogs…

I’m making these right now for our 4th of July. I’m using turkey dogs and Hormel turkey chili. I didn’t have relish at home, so I sliced up some bread & butter pickles and put just a few on the bottom of the buns. I also added ketchup.

I don’t eat chili dogs but thank you for this recipe. When my husband likes his food he closes his eyes and nods while eating it… he nodded all the way through two of these.

I made these a week or so ago and they are very yummy! Would have cut back on the relish and mustard a little, but she’s right when she says you have HAVE HAVE to put a good amount of mayo on it. I tried wrapping them separately and found two issues: They don’t quite get as crispy as I imagined and trying to get them all “loaded” without tipping over is a bit more difficult. Next time I will definitely try them unwrapped.

I am pregnant and nothing has sounded good for almost 5 months. Except these!! We will be eating tonight, I am so grateful to you for getting me out of my food funk :)

I saw these the other day and they looked so YUMMY! I’m making 1 right now to see if I need to add more relish or mayo ( kinda like my trial run), and then Ill make the rest for dinner tonight! I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for this recipe!

Thanks so much for this recipe! I’m making them for the second time in a week. My kids ages 13 to 7 loved them. Today I’m using Hot Jalapeno Chili at the kids request…guees we’ll see if they’re man enough for the heat!

[...] 1/ 2/ 3 [...]

We make something similar to this but with the dogs n cheese wrapped in tortillas with chili dog sauce above and below in the pan and then top with relish ketchup and mustard when served. My family loves it. I will definitely have to try yours and see how we like this one too. We need a little variety to our chili dogs. :-) We have chili dog pizza, chili dog casserole and now we will have baked hot dogs. YUMMM!!

So glad you shared this recipe! I have been making these for a couple of years now and we can’t get enough! Every time we have a family get together, I’m asked to bring these! They are amazing! I usually use a turkey chili.

Seriously Alyssa! These were awesome. I made them for my boys and husband and even I loved them! I did not have 45 min so I crisped the dogs in my pan and then followed the recipe with 15 min in the oven. Thank you for an awesome weeknight meal we all LOVED!

These sound so good but we love sauerkraut, so you think we could use that….

My mom used to make something similar when I was a kid in the 70′s. She would place a slice of bread on a baking sheet, slice a hot dog in half put chili over it and a piece of american cheese and bake until toasty and hot. I like your flavors better.
