Ingredients
- 4 all-beef hot dogs
- 4 hot dog buns
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- 1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- 2. Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- 3. Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 4. Add tomato sauce and water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chili thickens, about 15 minutes.
- 5. Meanwhile, grill or pan-fry hot dogs over medium heat until heated through and lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Toast buns if desired.
- 6. Place each hot dog in a bun. Spoon chili over the hot dogs, then top with shredded cheddar cheese. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra flavor, top with diced onions or jalapeños.
- Leftover chili can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make it vegetarian, substitute ground beef with plant-based crumbles.
