Steps:
- Grilled or Boiled Hot Dog
- Cook on hot oiled grates, turning, until charred, about 5 minutes. Or cook in boiling water or beer, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Chili
- Combine 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 grated onion, 1 cup tomato sauce and one 6-ounce can tomato paste in a large pot. Stir in 1 tablespoon each chili powder and sugar, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon each pepper and garlic salt and 1 cup water. Add 1 bay leaf, then cover and simmer over medium-low heat until thick, about 2 hours. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar and simmer 30 more minutes. Remove the bay leaf.
- Coleslaw
- Yellow Mustard
Tips:
- Use high-quality hot dogs: Look for all-beef hot dogs with a good snap. Avoid hot dogs made with fillers or extenders.
- Grill or pan-fry your hot dogs: This will give them a nice smoky flavor and a crispy skin.
- Don't overcook your hot dogs: Overcooked hot dogs will be tough and dry. Cook them until they are just heated through, about 2-3 minutes per side if grilling or 5-7 minutes if pan-frying.
- Use a variety of toppings: The classic West Virginia hot dog toppings are ketchup, mustard, chili, and coleslaw. However, you can also try other toppings, such as onions, peppers, cheese, and bacon.
- Serve your hot dogs on a steamed bun: This will help to keep the hot dogs warm and juicy.
