Hot Dogs

Method

Prepare the Loco Sauce

  1. 1

    Cook Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add Onion and Garlic

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mix in Tomato Sauce and Spices

    Stir in the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cook Hot Dogs

  1. 4

    Boil or Grill Hot Dogs

    While the sauce simmers, you can prepare the hot dogs. Boil them in water for about 5 minutes or grill them for a few minutes until heated through.

Assemble the Plate

  1. 5

    Prepare Hot Dog Buns

    Place the hot dogs into the buns and set them on a serving plate.

  2. 6

    Top with Loco Sauce

    Spoon the loco sauce generously over each hot dog in the bun.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and chopped green onions on top of the loco sauce. Add a dollop of sour cream to finish.
