Hot Dogs

Method

Preparation of Chili

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef, cooking until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

  2. 2

    Add Chili Ingredients

    Once the beef is browned, stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Hot Dog Assembly

  1. 3

    Cook the Hot Dogs

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

  2. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the hot dog buns on a grill or in the oven until lightly browned, if desired.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Hot Dogs

    Place each hot dog in a bun, then generously spoon the chili topping over each hot dog. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. If desired, add sliced jalapeños for an extra kick.
