4th of July–inspired BBQ dinner for 4 people with just $20 at Dollar Tree
No grill? No problem. I made a full 4th of July–inspired BBQ dinner for 4 people with just $20 at Dollar Tree — and everything was cooked indoors using my oven and broiler. This is a cozy, budget-friendly cookout menu that still brings the flavor, even without the charcoal.
Here’s what’s on the plate:
Chili Cheese Dogs – hot dogs broiled for that grilled look, tucked into buns, topped with canned chili and cheddar, then baked to melty perfection.
Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad – made with the boxed mix, mayo, plus chopped black olives, marinated red pepper, cubed cheddar and pepper jack, and a sprinkle of parmesan.
Elote-Inspired Corn Salad – broiled canned corn, tossed warm in a creamy cilantro-lime mayo dressing with parmesan and pepper jack cheese.
Baked Beans – two cans, heated and served. Because some things don’t need changing.
All from Dollar Tree. All under $20. All with no grill.

Esquite is one of my favorite Mexican snacks EVER. So freakin good.
For the love of the mighty Boognish, please wear gloves over those fake nails!
This looks beyond delicious ! Just for next time it would be nice to incorporate more veggies (more greens if possible and more antioxidant rich foods such as yes greens, beets, carrots, broccoli, collard greens, spinach, kale, swiss chard etc)
I love ur videos 🎉
Love this.
Meh.
That looks delicious ❤👍
Having a grill pan is also a great way to indoor grill I use my cast iron one alllllll the time
I could never get past Dollar tree cheeses, didn't like the taste & for our Elotes we use ** Cotija Cheese (found at Walmart)…but other than that looks bomb 👌
You are so awesome. It all looks delicious 🤤
Yummmm 😋
I love my hotdogs in the oven. I've even done them in the air fryer.
Even if you aren't baking them, adding in a touch of brown sugar or honey into the baked beans and a splash of liquid smoke brings the beans over the top.
Yeahhhh …I was so looking forward to this
I'm going to try the chili dogs!
It all looks good, but a true chili cheese dog has to be too messy to eat with your hands! lol
Youre seriously awesome. Thank you for every post!
I can’t wait to make that corn! Thank you!❤
👏👏👏👏👏👏

Our town makes the world’s best hotdogs. So as long as you’ve got a Smith’s Hot Dog, anything else is perfect!!!!
You make me feel better about being obese. ❤❤❤
The eloté you did Caucasian it up buuuuuuuut I’ll let it pass😅
I love these short videos that share entire spreads ❤️
Question: what are your thoughts on baking the chili dogs uncovered? Does baking them covered result in the buns being kind of soggy?
Who knew kingsford made food!!! I Always just knew them from charcoal briquettes
This all looks delish!!!
Soooo yummy, easy, and affordable!
Great video. I do have 1 suggestion. Before you add the hot dogs, etc, you should brown the buns. This will help keep the bread from getting soggy or break up because of all the chili and dogs.
