Ingredients for Corn Dogs with Chili & Cheese
- 10 frozen corn dogs
- 1 (15 oz) can chili (with no beans)
- Shredded cheese (enough to top all the corn dogs)
How to Make Microwave Corn Dogs with Chili & Cheese
Cook the corn dogs according to the package instructions for the microwave.
While they’re cooking, open a can of chilli (with no beans) and transfer it to a microwave-safe bowl.
When the microwave is empty again, heat for about 2 minutes, until it’s warmed all the way through.
Once the corn dogs are done, remove the sticks. Use a knife to carefully split each corn dog length‑wise, creating a little “boat” for the filling.
Spoon the heated chili into each split corn dog, filling it generously.
Top with shredded cheese and allow the residual heat to melt the cheese, or briefly return to the microwave if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips & Suggestions
- Use a chili with no beans for better texture in this sandwich‑style dish
- Try different shredded cheeses—sharp cheddar gives bold flavor; pepper jack adds a kick.
- Want a crunch? Serve with a side of tortilla chips or sprinkle crushed nachos over the top.
- These are perfect for a game‑day spread or a casual dinner.
- For extra flair: top with diced onions, jalapeños, sour cream, or a drizzle of mustard.

A: Follow the package instructions (usually 16‑20 minutes baking) and make sure they’re hot throughout and nicely browned. Then split and fill immediately for best texture.
