Method

Preparing the Chili

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to break up the meat.

  2. 2

    Add Onions and Garlic

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cooking the Hot Dogs

  1. 5

    Prepare Hot Dogs

    While the chili simmers, grill or boil the hot dogs according to your preference until heated through.

  2. 6

    Toast the Buns

    If desired, toast the hot dog buns on a grill or in a toaster for added flavor.

Assembling the Chili Cheese Dogs

  1. 7

    Assemble the Dogs

    Place each hot dog in a toasted bun. Spoon a generous amount of chili over each hot dog.

  2. 8

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chili-covered hot dogs.

  3. 9

    Optional Toppings

    Top with chopped green onions and sour cream if desired.
