Recipe Description
Swap hotdogs with Mozzarella Sticks for an easy Mozzarella Stick Chili Dog recipe. Game day party planning just got easier!
This simple chili recipe cooks up fast and is perfect for topping Mozzarella Sticks in warm, toasty buns. If you’re not in the mood to make your own chili, your favorite canned chili will work just fine as well (we always appreciate a short cut). If you can’t find mini hot dog buns, just cut regular buns in half. Hawaiian sweet rolls can also serve as a replacement.
Creamy mozzarella cheese and crispy breading make Farm Rich Mozzarella Sticks the perfect place to start for this dish. (Heat up a few hot dogs, as well, if you want to let your guests pick and choose.) A mashup of mozzarella, chili, and a flaky bun makes this recipe delish. Our Mozzarella Stick Chili Dog recipe is easy, versatile, and scrumptious.
