Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chili

    In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the canned chili, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Hot Dogs

    While the chili simmers, grill or pan-fry the beef hot dogs until heated through and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Dogs

    Place each grilled hot dog in a bun. Top generously with the chili mixture, followed by the crispy bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions.

  2. 5

    Add Condiments

    Finish with a drizzle of Dijon mustard to taste.
