You’ve got a two bite slider roll bursting with Hot Dog Chili, ‘Lil Smokies, and Cheddar Cheese?!!

Tailgate Party Perfection!

I recently made a Tailgate Luncheon for 45 people…..eeek! And it turned out great! The picture below shows the set up! It was grand!

Here’s how we assemble these super easy and crowd pleasing sliders.

• Dinner Rolls – sliced across the top (not all the way through)
• Beef Lit’l Smokies – one per roll
• Hot Dog Chili – a generous spoonful per slider
• Cheddar Cheese – sprinkled on top of chili
• Bake at 350 degrees – for 10 minutes

Whether you’re hosting a birthday party, planning a game day tailgate party, or a college kid looking for an easy (and affordable) way to feed a crowd – these mini chili cheese dogs do the trick!
