JJ's Chili Dogs Kids will love these tasty chili dogs. Serving: 8 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 25 minutes
INGREDIENTS: 1 1/2 lb lean ground beef slices of American cheese cooked hot dogs hot dog buns 1 medium to large chopped onion 2 tbsp oil 1 8 oz can tomato sauce 1 6 oz can tomato paste 3 tbsp chili powder 1 tsp salt dash Tabasco sauce 1 cup water DIRECTIONS: 1. Brown ground beef and onion in the oil in a large saucepan. Mash the ground beef with a potato masher as it cooks so that you break it up into uniformly fine pieces. 2. When the onion is translucent and the beef is completely cooked, add the remaining ingredients (except the cheese, hot dogs and buns). Cover and simmer on low heat for at least 30 minutes, stirring often as the mixture is thick and will stick to the pan easily. 3. Place one slice of American cheese in each hot dog bun. We break the cheese slice in half so that you can overlap the pieces lengthwise and cover the entire bun. Add the cooked hot dog, smother with chili and then top with chopped onions. 4. Cook's Tips: If the chili mixture gets too thick, add a little water. If it is runnier than you want it, take the lid off for the last 10 minutes. Use fresh hot dog buns and your favorite hot dogs. We cook ours in one inch of boiling water to steam them. They cook more evenly by steaming them than in the microwave. Also, the chili freezes great. I divide it into containers so that the amount will top 2 hot dogs. That way we can have them for lunch, or when we are not all eating at the same time. 5. Variation: If you want a "Coney Island" dog, first spread one side of the bun with mustard and the other side with relish. Then put the cheese in, add the hot dog and cover with the chili mixture.
