Vegan Chili Cheese Dogs that are easy to make! I used to love a good chili cheese dog in the “before times”. However, were they healthy? Oh heck no. But, were they tasty? Well, YEAH! My version of the hot dog is made from seitan and has a lot less salt, fat and sugar than any other hot dog out there on the market. The chili is made from TVP (textured vegetable protein), but you could sub lentils if you prefer, and the “cheese” sauce is pretty simple and low fat too. So, what we have is a (mostly) healthy version of a Vegan Chili Cheese Dog! Additionally, start to finish on these is about an hour and 10 minutes or so. But you can make several and freeze them if you like too.
