Ingredients
- 4 all-beef hot dogs
- 4 hot dog buns
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped white onion (for topping)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Add chopped onion and garlic; cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, grill or pan-fry hot dogs over medium heat until heated through and lightly charred, about 5 minutes.
- Toast hot dog buns on the grill or in a toaster.
- Place each hot dog in a bun. Spoon chili over the hot dog, then top with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped white onion.
Tips
- For extra flavor, use a sharp cheddar or a Mexican cheese blend.
- Serve with yellow mustard and pickled jalapeños if desired.
- Leftover chili can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
