CHILI DOGS

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium jar ketchup, about 2 1/2 cups
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 all-beef hot dogs (recommended: Ball Park)
4 hot dog rolls
1/2 cup grated Cheddar

Steps:

  • Put a skillet over medium heat and drizzle in a 2-count of olive oil. When the oil gets hazy, add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until it is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with the back of a spoon, and cook until nicely browned, about 10 more minutes. Stir in the ketchup, chili powder, and mustard and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  • While the chili is cooking, get the grill going. Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue and get it very hot. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small
  • amount of oil on the paper towel. Then carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick grilling surface.
  • Bring a pot of water up to a simmer and parboil the dogs for about 5 minutes. Take them out of the water, pat them dry, and grill them just long enough to mark them. (That'll give them a grilled flavor too.) Brush the insides of the rolls with olive oil and lay them face down on the grill; cook until toasty. To serve, put a dog in each roll and top with the chili and some Cheddar.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chili: Use a thick and flavorful chili that will hold up well on a hot dog. A canned chili can be used, but a homemade chili will always be better.
  • Grill or pan-fry your hot dogs: This will give them a nice smoky flavor. If you're grilling, cook the hot dogs over medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning them occasionally.
  • Load up your hot dogs: In addition to chili, you can also top your hot dogs with other toppings like cheese, onions, sauerkraut, or jalapeños. Get creative and have fun!
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Chili dogs are often served with fries, chips, or coleslaw. You can also serve them with a side of baked beans or potato salad.

Conclusion:

Chili dogs are a classic American food that is enjoyed by people of all ages. They're easy to make, customizable, and always delicious.
