Bun and Hot Dog

Beef Patties and Chili

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, form the Black Angus ground beef into two equal-sized patties. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Cook the patties in the skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Add the American cheese slice on top of each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.

  3. 3

    Cook the Hot Dog

    While the patties are cooking, in a separate pan, grill or boil the Hebrew National hot dog until heated through. Slice it lengthwise for better topping distribution.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Toast the Bun

    Toast the hamburger bun until golden brown on both sides.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the toasted bun, place the shredded lettuce, followed by the two hamburger patties with melted cheese, the split hot dog, and a generous scoop of homemade beefy chili.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top the chili with the shredded cheddar cheese, diced onions, and diced tomatoes. Drizzle Duke's® mayonnaise over the top.

  4. 7

    Complete the Sandwich

    Place the top half of the toasted bun on the assembled toppings and press down gently. Your 'Big John' is now ready to serve!
