chili cheese dog

Spicy topped wiener

A chili cheese dog is a hot dog topped with chili con carne and melted cheese, typically served in a bun.

It's a staple of American fast food and ballpark concessions: I grabbed a chili cheese dog at the game.

Regional variations abound—some add onions, jalapeños, or mustard.
