CHILI DOGS

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium jar ketchup, about 2 1/2 cups
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 all-beef hot dogs (recommended: Ball Park)
4 hot dog rolls
1/2 cup grated Cheddar

Steps:

  • Put a skillet over medium heat and drizzle in a 2-count of olive oil. When the oil gets hazy, add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until it is 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 more minutes. Stir in the ketchup, chili powder, and mustard and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  • While the chili is cooking, get the grill going. 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. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small
  • amount of oil on the paper towel. Then carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick grilling surface.
  • Bring a pot of water up to a simmer and parboil the dogs for about 5 minutes. Take them out of the water, pat them dry, and grill them just long enough to mark them. (That'll give them a grilled flavor too.) Brush the insides of the rolls with olive oil and lay them face down on the grill; cook until toasty. To serve, put a dog in each roll and top with the chili and some Cheddar.

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 Ball Park® Brand Franks
8 Ball Park® Hot Dog Buns
Yellow mustard
1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ sweet yellow onion, chopped
½ red bell pepper, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons garlic granules
2 teaspoons paprika
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • To make chili, brown ground beef in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large saucepan for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
  • Add onion and red bell pepper, stirring well. Add tomato sauce and seasonings, stirring well.
  • Allow mixture to bubble for about 10 minutes, then reduce heat to simmer and cook at least 30 minutes.
  • To make hot dogs, cook on your grill or on a grill pan until just seared on the outside.
  • Meanwhile, toast buns in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes, taking care not to brown.
  • Swipe each bun with mustard, top with chili as desired, followed by grated cheese, onion and, if you're brave, jalapenos.
  • If you'd like the cheese all melty, place chili dogs on a foil-lined cookie sheet and run under a hot broiler for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese bubbles.

Tips:

  • Use good-quality hot dogs. Look for hot dogs that are made with 100% beef and have a good snap to them.
  • Brown the hot dogs before adding them to the chili. This will help to give them a nice flavor and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a variety of beans in your chili. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the chili. The longer you cook it, the more the flavors will meld together, but you don't want to cook it so long that the beans become mushy.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, diced onions, sour cream, and jalapeños.

Conclusion:

Hot dog chili is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying chili that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give hot dog chili a try.
