Method

Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the beef. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Add the Sauce Ingredients

    Stir in the tomato sauce, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and water. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Hot Dog Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Hot Dogs

    While the chili is simmering, cook the hot dogs according to package instructions. This can be done by boiling, grilling, or pan-frying.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Warm the hotdog buns in the oven or on a skillet until they are soft and slightly toasted.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Chili Dogs

    Place each cooked hot dog into a warm bun. Generously spoon the chili over the top of each hot dog.

  2. 8

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and a dollop of sour cream on top of the chili.
