Ingredients
- 1 package of hot dogs
- 1 package of hot dog buns
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 8 oz. tomato sauce
- 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- ½ c. beef broth
- 2 tsp. brown sugar
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. pepper
- ½ tsp. smoked paprika
- Other toppings you like, such as shredded cheese, chopped red onions, or hot sauce
Instructions
- Set your burner to medium-high heat, and place a pot over it to cook your ground beef and onions. Once the meat is browned, drain the pot of any excess fat.
- Add in the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, broth, and seasonings, and stir all of the ingredients together. Simmer over medium-low heat for 25 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the liquid has cooked down and the chili is nice and thick. Then, cover it and set it aside to keep it warm.
- Use a grill or a skillet to cook your hot dogs through. While they’re cooking, toast the hot dog buns.
- Once your hot dogs are cooked, add them to the buns, then spoon on the chili and add your favorite toppings.
