Cincinnati Chili Dogs image

Native Buckeyes pledge allegiance to this dog. Pile on the all-beef chili, heady with chocolate, cinnamon, and other spices, with abandon. The finishing touches are fundamental: yellow mustard, diced sweet onion, and lots of shredded cheddar cheese. Unless you're a pro at eating one, you may want to grab a knife and fork -- or a bib.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped white onion (from 1 onion), plus more for serving
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 3 cloves)
1 pound 85 percent-lean ground beef, preferably grass-fed
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 can (8 ounces) low-sodium tomato sauce
1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
6 all-beef franks
6 long potato rolls, such as Martin's, split
Yellow mustard, for serving
4 ounces finely shredded sharp cheddar (2 cups), for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden in places, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds more. Add ground beef and season with salt. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, breaking into bite-size pieces and stirring occasionally, until meat is browned in places and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in cocoa, cinnamon, and allspice; cook 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce, 1 cup water, vinegar, Worcestershire, and chili powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and darkened slightly, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add franks, reduce heat to low, and simmer until plump and hot, about 5 minutes. Drain franks and place in rolls. Top each with chili, sprinkle with onion, drizzle with mustard, and top with cheese. Serve immediately.
