Ingredients

For the Chipotle Aioli

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

For the Hot Dogs

4 hot dogs
1/2 cup canned chili without beans (or your favorite homemade chili)
12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
2 tablespoons softened butter
8 slices white American cheese
1/2 cup crispy fried onions

Instructions

In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, chipotle powder, and garlic. Cover and place in the fridge until ready to use.
Cook your hot dogs to your liking (we like to grill ours for this recipe.) Keep warm.
Whether you're using homemade chili or canned, warm it up.
Very carefully take 3 of the Hawaiian rolls at a time, making sure they stay attached to one another. Spread some softened butter along the two outer sides of the rolls.
Place the rolls, butter side down, into a skillet over medium heat; toast until golden brown on both sides. (We do two at a time to not crowd the pan and cook evenly.)
Toasted side up, cut the buns with a serrated knife about 3/4 of the way through the rolls.
Add two slices of white American cheese. Place a warm hot dog, then top with the warm chili. Drizzle some of the aioli on top followed by the crispy fried onions. Serve immediately and enjoy - they're so good!
