American · Main course · 40 min total

A classic all-beef hot dog smothered in a rich, meaty chili sauce, perfect for game day or a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup water
• 8 all-beef hot dogs
• 8 hot dog buns
• Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, mustard

Instructions

1. In a large skillet or saucepan, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat.
2. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and water. Bring to a simmer.
4. Reduce heat to low and let the chili simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until thickened.
5. While chili simmers, grill or pan-fry the hot dogs over medium heat until heated through and lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Toast the buns if desired.
6. Place each hot dog in a bun and top with a generous spoonful of chili. Add optional toppings as desired.

Tips

• For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeño.
• Leftover chili can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
• Serve with extra chili on the side for dipping.
