This post explains how to make Instant Pot Southern Hot Dog Chili.
Homemade hot dog chili is so much better than the canned stuff and making this Instant Pot Southern Hot Dog Chili recipe is simple and easy! Unlike the traditional versions where you cook the hot dog chili long and slow; this recipe is made in a short time. Once you top it on your favorite hot dog, you will know why making this homemade Instant Pot Hot Dog Chili is worth the little extra effort!
If you read my Portillo’s Restaurant Review, you will know I LOVE hot dogs. When I go to different butcher shops, I will pick up a package of their homemade hot dogs to try out. From the store, I can’t resist a good Nathan’s, Sahlen’s or Sabretts dog.
When it comes to a good old-fashioned chili and cheese dog, I want my chili homemade. I don’t want that gross stuff out of the can. This recipe is very easy.

I have this great little hamburger grinder tool I got from Pampered Chef that I used to break down the meat. You don’t have to use one, but I recommend it because that is what grinds the meat into tiny pieces. This Amazon version: Chopstir Nylon Chopper

I love hot dog chili like this! J is a HUGE hot dog guy (he had a hot dog stand in high school) and he’s very picky about what kind of chili tops his dog. I showed him this and he asked me if we could make it this weekend. 4 thumbs up over here 😉
