Whether you're tailgating, watching the big game at home, or just planning a family movie night, this Texas chili dog is guaranteed to please. Delicious Ball Park Brand franks are even better when topped with hearty Texas chili, freshly grated cheese, and chopped sweet onion. You can always add a few slices of jalapeño, if you like it hot.
