Hot Dog Chili

Hot dog topped with homemade chili, shredded cheese, and diced onions.

This hot dog chili is thick, saucy, and made with finely crumbled beef, tomato paste, beef broth, and warm spices. It's the perfect topping to elevate any hot dog.

Ingredients

½ lb ground beef
¼ cup red onions Diced
2 teaspoons Chili powder
½ teaspoon Garlic powder
½ teaspoon Onion powder
½ teaspoon Cumin
½ cup Beef broth
⅓ cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Heat a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add in the ground beef and cook until browned. Chop it up while cooking so the ground beef is in smaller crumbled pieces.
Once browned, add in the diced onions and all of the seasonings. Stir this together then add in the beef broth, tomato paste and worcestershire sauce. Give this a good stir and bring the temperature up to medium high.
The mixture will seem very wet but don’t worry, let it come to a boil and cook for five to six minutes. Stir occasionally, the liquid will reduce. It should still be a wet consistency when finished but not too liquidy.
Once the liquid is reduced, remove from the heat and serve over hot dogs. I like to add the chili to hot dogs and top with shredded cheese and more onions. Eat and enjoy!

Notes

This recipe makes approximately 2-4 servings of chili. Two servings allows a good amount of chilli per hot dog, while more servings will have less chili per hot dog.
