Ingredients
Texas Style Chili:
- 3 pounds ground chuck
- 1 pound hot bulk sausage
- 3 onions, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, chopped
- 3 (16-ounce) cans kidney beans
- 4 hot dogs
- 4 hot dog buns
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Directions
Using a Dutch oven, combine the ground chuck, sausage, onions, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the meat is browned, stirring the meat to break it up as it cooks. Drain the pan drippings. Stir in the chili powder, flour, sugar, oregano, salt, and stir well. Cover pot and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes and beans, and simmer for another 20 minutes.
Preheat a grill. Grill hot dogs until done, approximately 5 minutes. Place the buns on the grill to warm them. Place hot dogs in the bun. Put the hotdog on the plate with split side facing to the side. Smash the hotdog until flat with your hand and ladle chili on top. Top with cheddar cheese.

I don't eat red meat, so I made this using ground turkey for the chuck, and hot bulk chicken sausage. It was great. The other thing I did differently was half the recipe - with only 2 pounds of meat we had more than enough for 4 dogs, as well as tons leftover.

Each Super Bowl for the past 4 or more years we have used Paula's Smashed Dog recipe....It is delightful and perfect for a cold January day watching the football game. We top them off with shredded cheese and finely chopped onions, served with a side of coleslaw and ovenbaked french fries. This year we are churning a big freezer of peach icecream using Paula's vanilla icecream recipe. I just can't wait and I know our guest will love our party.

Paula, This is really,really,really good, but. A true Texas Chili would NEVER have beans of any kind in it, not even kidney beans.
