Oven Baked Chili Hot Dogs

In my house, hot dogs are a staple.  They serve as a quick lunch, an afternoon snack or an easy meal in a pinch.  We’ve covered them in corn meal, topped them with slaw or mixed them with beans...we grill them, pan-fry them, boil them and even cook them in the microwave, but we have NEVER thought to cook them in the oven!!  Who knew that you could make delicious chili-cheese dogs in the oven?
