Wouldn't you cover them before serving them? If the recipe says how many it would cover, how many it would serve is up to the server. I sometimes eat 4 hot-dogs as a meal. In my case, it would serve 7 and a half if you want to think of it that way. But it would cover 30. I hope this makes sense?

The recipe says… Serves. That is not the same thing as… Covers.

I reposted the recipe out of courtesy not because I felt that it was listed
wrong in the original posting.  I was under the assumption that any
experienced cook would know that hot dog chili was to be used on hot dogs
and that the mention of hot dog wieners would indicate how many hot dogs the
chili would cover.  I still believe that the original recipe was as simple
as it needed to be.  Mike

I love the recipes I have seen. That is why I joined this mailing list.
I do not expect them to be professional, but, I do expect that when I ask questions I will be handled in a way that is professional. I do not expect to be treated with snide comments, or reacted to in such a way that seems just tasteful.
That is all that I expect.
And I thank you in advance to have the decorum to treat others as you would like to be treated.

Well, since none of the folks here save for Dale are professionals in the cooking field (I do write a recipe column for a role-playing magazine, but it's not a paying market) expecting professionalism is a bit much, don't you think? This mailing list has a lot of folks that are trying to learn their way around a kitchen while not being able to see, so recipes from these folks can sometimes get a bit rudimentary. I for one am going to nurture their culinary creative side and ask questions if I don't understand something, not recriminate. My expectations of what I think should be in a recipe has nothing to do with them or their recipe, and everything to do with me and my issues. As I said earlier, expectations decrease joy.

I told you that I did not want to argue, but seeing as how you want to
continue this… No, steak sauce is not made with stake, that is because
it is used… on… state, it is a recipe for sauce, not a recipe for
steak.
Hot dog buns is the name of an item used for hot dogs, the recipe is a
recipe for buns.

The confusion begins from the people on this site. The postings I have
seen have spelling errors, missing quantities, and possibly missing
ingredients. They do not appear to be professionally written. So, no,
if an item is not in the ingredients list and it is mentioned in the
title, that does not mean that it is the use of that recipe. It quite
possibly could have been forgotten in the ingredients list, or the
instructions.

Does steak sauce contain steak?  Hot-dog chili does not contain hot-
dogs. You can tell by the recipe what it is for or what is in it.
Rattlesnake or venison chili does contain those two ingredients, which
will be shown by reading the recipe.  But if an ingredient that is
mentioned in the title is not one of the ingredients, common sense
dictates that the recipe is to be used in conjunction with that item,
which is the case in this instance.

I am not going to argue with you but clearly, you have not done
enough reading of recipes on sites or in books.

Most people know that, for example, hot-dog buns are for use with
hot-dogs. The same goes for hot-dog chili.  Neither contain hot-dogs as
one of their ingredients.  The name tells you for what it is generally
used for, not what it is made with.

No Charles, the recipe was not clear.
The title is, "hot dog chili", And yet the ingredients do not
contain hotdogs. In the directions it states to serve 20 or so hot dog
wieners. Which doesn't make sense at all. If it was meant that you
should put this on hot dog buns, Then it should have said that.
Also, I was not the only one who was confused by this.
But, thanks for being late to the party, I Arity had my questions
answered and clarified.

It was very clear.  No need to clarify.  Think of it like you would
if someone were to give a recipe for making mustard.  Here's the
recipe.  Do with it what you choose.  In this case, it is a recipe for
making chili that is used as a condiment, as relish, mustard, cheese,
or whatever goes with hot-dogs.

The way it is written does not make sense to me.
Please strive to make your recipes less confusing, what works for
you, may not work for everyone else.

How many does it need?
