Gourmet chili cheese hot dog: Grilled dog in bun topped with beef chili, cheddar, and onions.
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 pound bacon, cut into small pieces
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 4 chopped garlic cloves
  • 16 ounce can of tomato sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 Tbsp molasses or honey
  • 2 Tbsp sweet paprika
  • 1 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
  • Salt
  • As many hot dogs as you have people to serve
  • Buns for the hot dogs
  • Chopped red onion, for garnish
  • Shredded cheddar (or jack) cheese, for garnish
Instructions:
  • Cook the bacon until crispy, then sauté the onions in high heat until browned. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in the garlic when the beef is halfway browned.
  • After the beef is nicely browned, mix in the tomato sauce, molasses, and beef broth. Combine all the spices except for the cayenne, stirring thoroughly. Simmer the mixture, taste, and adjust seasoning with salt or cayenne as needed. For extra spiciness, feel free to sprinkle more cayenne or chili powder, but taste beforehand.
  • Simmer the chili gently for 30 minutes or longer, adding more beef broth as needed to prevent it from drying out. Enjoy alongside grilled hot dogs.
  • Cook the hot dogs on the grill over medium heat until lightly charred. Briefly grill the buns for no more than a minute to warm them up, optionally brushing them with olive oil or butter beforehand. Place the hot dog in the bun, top with chili, chopped red onion, and shredded cheese. Enjoy! If you enjoyed the recipe, please leave a star rating and comment below.
