Time 40m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 large white onion, chopped
8 ounces ground beef
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder

Ketchup and mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • For the chili: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the beef and garlic and cook, stirring and breaking up into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, until the meat is brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cayenne, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until well combined, about 1 minute.

CHILI CHEESE DOGS



Chili Cheese Dogs image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 hot dogs

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 all beef hot dogs, about 1/2 pound
4 hot dog rolls
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar

Steps:

  • To make the chili: Heat a skillet over medium flame and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil gets hazy, add the onion and cook, stirring, until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with the back of a spoon, and cook until nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the ketchup, chili powder, and mustard; simmer for 15 minutes until thick; season with salt and pepper.
  • For the hot dogs: While the chili is cooking: place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue and get it very hot. Brush the grates with oil to keep the hot dogs from sticking. Parboil the dogs first before grilling: bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the hot dogs for about 5 minutes. Remove from the water and grill the hot dogs just long enough to give them grill marks. Brush the insides of the rolls with the remaining oil and place them face down on the grill until toasty. To serve, top each hot dog with the chili and some Cheddar cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right hot dogs: Use high-quality hot dogs that are plump and juicy. Avoid using cheap, dry hot dogs as they will not taste as good.
  • Cook the hot dogs properly: Boil, grill, or fry the hot dogs until they are cooked through. Do not overcook the hot dogs, as they will become tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality chili: The chili is the star of the show in chili dogs, so make sure to use a good quality chili that is flavorful and has a good consistency. You can use your own homemade chili or a store-bought chili.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Chili dogs are a great way to experiment with different toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, onions, relish, mustard, and sauerkraut.
  • Serve the chili dogs immediately: Chili dogs are best served hot and fresh. If you are making them ahead of time, reheat them before serving.

Conclusion:

Chili dogs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a chili dog that is sure to satisfy your cravings. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give chili dogs a try. You won't be disappointed!
