Ingredients

For the Chili

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small white onion diced
  • Salt for seasoning
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp ancho chili powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 6 oz can of tomato paste
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 pound ground beef

For the Hot Dogs

  • 1 12oz pack Nathan's Famous Jumbo Restaurant Style Beef Franks
  • 8 hot dog buns
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup white onion diced

Instructions

  • For the Chili, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add about 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the onions. Season with salt and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add your garlic and mix it in. Add all of your spices, the tomato paste and the 2 cups of water and cook for a minute more. Add in the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, and season with more salt to taste. Cook the beef until browned and no pick remains, about 8 minutes total.
  • On a griddle or grill, cook the hot dogs over high heat until crisped, about 3 minutes total. Build the dogs by adding a hot dog to each bun, topping with the chili, garnishing with cheddar cheese and white onion before devouring.
  • Pair it with your favorite homemade (or frozen) french fries and top them with the chili, cheddar cheese and white onion as well.
