Hormel recently debuted two new varieties of chili that are designed specifically for pairing with hot dogs. The no-bean chili features a thicker consistency than the original Hormel Chili, which means it stays put when placed on top of hot dogs. As for the two different varieties, the Chili Cheese version is a no-bean chili combined with American cheese, while the Coney Island variety is a no-bean chili mixed with mustard and onions. Both of the new Hormel Chili Cheese Chili products come in 15-ounce cans, so you can make enough chili dogs for the whole family. The Hormel Chili Cheese Chili products can currently be found at select retailers.
