HOW TO CREATE A CHILI HOT DOG BAR
Tasty food bars and buffets are so easy to put together. I'm mildly obsessed. The possibilities are SO endless and the best part is that it's easy on hosts and guests alike. Everyone is happy when they get to pick and choose their own favorite chili dog toppings.
Start by choosing a few simple decorations for your football party and then add chili dog essentials to your shopping list. The magic starts when you start your planning around Hormel Chili No Beans and Ball Park Buns available at Publix. Right now, you can get two 8 count packs of Ball Park Buns for $5 and two cans of either 14 or 15 oz Hormel Chili No Beans for $4! Pick up your favorite hot dogs and then just add toppings galore. It really is that easy. Use small bowls and dishes to set your toppings out and let guests enjoy! If that sounds all too easy, I assure you that it is! Now let's chat about the best hot dog toppings!
