Texas Chili Dog image

Whether you're tailgating, watching the big game at home or just planning a family movie night, this Texas Chili Dog is guaranteed to please. Delicious Ball Park Brand® Franks are even better when topped with hearty Texas chili, freshly grated cheese and chopped sweet onion. You can always add a few slices of jalapeno, if you like it hot. Tater Tots or Fritos make the best sides.

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.

CHILI DOGS

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 good-quality beef franks
2 good-quality hot dog buns
2 cups chili, recipe follows, heated
1/2 cup grated Cheddar
2 tablespoons finely diced onion
4 pounds ground beef
6 cloves garlic, minced
Two 8-ounce cans tomato sauce
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
1/4 cup chili powder, or more as desired
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more as desired
Two 15-ounce cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Two 15-ounce cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup masa harina (corn flour) or regular cornmeal

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Brown the franks in a small skillet over medium heat. Lightly toast the buns under the broiler. Put the franks on the buns and spoon on a bunch of chili. Add the cheese all over the top, then heat in the microwave to melt the cheese, 25 to 35 seconds. (Or if you're using an ovensafe plate, place it under a low broiler until the cheese melts, about 1 minute.) Sprinkle with the onion and dive in.
  • In a large, heavy pot, brown the ground beef with the garlic over medium heat until the beef is totally cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off most of the excess fat, leaving a little behind for moisture and flavor. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and cayenne. Stir together well, cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally; if the liquid level seems low, add up to 1 cup water to keep it from burning.
  • After an hour, stir in the kidney and pinto beans. In a small bowl, combine the masa harina with 1/2 cup water and stir together with a fork until it's smooth. Pour the masa mixture into the chili. Stir together well, then taste the chili and adjust the seasonings. Simmer the chili for another 10 minutes to thicken, then turn off the heat and let it cool.
  • Fill freezer bags with 2-cup portions and freeze them flat for easy stacking (or freeze in other freezer-safe containers).

  • Grill or pan-fry the hot dogs: This will give them a nice smoky flavor and help to keep them juicy. If you're grilling the hot dogs, be sure to preheat the grill to medium-high heat before cooking.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The classic chili dog toppings are chili, mustard, and onions. However, you can also get creative and try other toppings, such as cheese, bacon, sauerkraut, or relish.
  • Make your own chili: If you have the time, making your own chili is a great way to add extra flavor to your chili dogs. There are many different chili recipes available online, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Serve the chili dogs with your favorite sides: Chili dogs are often served with fries, chips, or coleslaw. You can also serve them with a side of soup or salad.

Conclusion:

Chili dogs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of toppings and sides to choose from, there are endless possibilities for creating your own unique chili dog.
