  2. Stir in tomatoes, pinto beans, black beans, navy beans and barbecue sauce; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until thickened.
  3. Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high heat; grease grate well. Grill hotdogs according to package directions. Toast buns for 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly grill marked and toasted.
  4. Assemble hotdogs in buns; top with dollop of chili and P’tit Quebec cheese. Grill over indirect heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese starts to melt. Garnish with pickled jalapeños. Serve with remaining chili on the side.

Tips

  • Substitute thinly sliced fresh jalapeño slices for pickled jalapeños or use your favourite hot chili pepper if desired.
  • If preferred, use a steamed hot dog. Dress the hotdog in the bun with toppings and broil until cheese melts.
