CHILI CHEESE DOGS

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.

CHILI CHEESE DOGS

This top dog is perfect for game day. With minimal ingredients (and time!) you can make a slightly spicy beef chili and keep it warm in a slow cooker on the warm setting. Double the recipe for a hungry crowd and serve with extra toppings, like chopped raw onions, relish or french-fried onions.

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
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup canned diced tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
8 hot dogs
8 split hot dog buns
4 ounces shredded Cheddar
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.
  • Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and 1/2 cup water to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
  • For the chili dogs: Preheat a grill or large grill pan to medium. Grill the hot dogs according to the package directions until grill marks appear and the hot dogs are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Working in batches, if necessary, grill the cut side of the buns until golden and toasted, about 1 minute. Build the hot dogs and top each with about 1/4 cup of chili spooned down the length of the hot dog. Sprinkle each with some cheese and serve with ketchup and mustard.

I love this recipe. The bread gets crispy/crusty and it is absolutely wonderful with the chili mixutre and cheese. So good! A lot of times, I skip the onion and use onion powder. It's just as good.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chili: A homemade chili or a high-quality store-bought chili will make all the difference in the flavor of your chili cheese dogs.
  • Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can make it less flavorful and less melty. Shredding your own cheese will give you the best results.
  • Toast the buns: Toasting the buns will help them hold up better to the chili and cheese. You can toast them in a toaster, in a pan with a little butter, or on a grill.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Chili cheese dogs are a blank canvas for your favorite toppings. Some popular options include diced onions, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, and jalapeños.

Conclusion:

Chili cheese dogs are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun weekend lunch. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make chili cheese dogs that are sure to please everyone at your table.
