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.

My in-laws are from Ohio, so we have Cincinnati chili at many of our family gatherings. I spiced up this family classic with cinnamon and cocoa powder and then ladled it over hot dogs. It's perfect for game day, tailgates and potlucks. -Jennifer Gilbert, Brighton, Michigan

DETROIT CHILI DOGS



Detroit Chili Dogs image

Authentic recipe from Detroit Coney Islands. This is a restaurant size portion also, so there will be plenty of leftovers (it freezes quite well). And yes, cow heart is actually an ingredient. It is in all of Coney's recipes in Detroit. Just talk to a butcher about getting the cow heart and they will be able to provide it for you.

Tips:

  • Make your own chili: Homemade chili is always better than store-bought. There are many different recipes to choose from, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Use good-quality cheese: The type of cheese you use can make a big difference in the flavor of your chili dog. Try using a sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or American cheese.
  • Load up on toppings: The best chili dogs are loaded with toppings. Some popular toppings include onions, sauerkraut, jalapeños, and mustard.
  • Serve them hot: Chili dogs are best served hot off the grill or out of the oven. So, don't let them sit around for too long before eating.
