CHILI DOGS
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.

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).
Tips:
- Choose the right chili: Opt for a chili with a bold flavor that can stand up to the other ingredients in the chili dog. A classic beef chili or a spicy vegetarian chili are both great options.
- Use a good-quality hot dog: The hot dog is the star of the show, so make sure it's a good one. Look for hot dogs that are made with high-quality meat and have a nice snap to them.
- Grill or pan-fry the hot dogs: Grilling or pan-frying the hot dogs adds a delicious smoky flavor and a nice crispy texture.
- Load up on the toppings: Chili dogs are all about the toppings. Classic toppings include shredded cheese, diced onions, and chopped pickles. You can also get creative and add other toppings, such as bacon, jalapeños, or sauerkraut.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Chili dogs are a great meal on their own, but they can also be served with a variety of sides. Some popular choices include fries, coleslaw, or potato salad.
