Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 all beef hot dogs, about 1/2 pound
4 hot dog rolls
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar

Directions

To make the chili: Heat a skillet over medium flame and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil gets hazy, add the onion and cook, stirring, until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with the back of a spoon, and cook until nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the ketchup, chili powder, and mustard; simmer for 15 minutes until thick; season with salt and pepper.

For the hot dogs: While the chili is cooking: place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue and get it very hot. Brush the grates with oil to keep the hot dogs from sticking. Parboil the dogs first before grilling: bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the hot dogs for about 5 minutes. Remove from the water and grill the hot dogs just long enough to give them grill marks. Brush the insides of the rolls with the remaining oil and place them face down on the grill until toasty. To serve, top each hot dog with the chili and some Cheddar cheese.

TOO sweet
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Not the chili I expect with a hot dog. Not much "chili" flavor either. Tastes more like beef bbq No need for 1/4 c olive... oil either burger made enough to cook the onions and garlicRead more

olive oil?
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The recipe calls for a quarter cup olive oil but when you make it it only asks for 2 T. Where does the rest go?

Certainly not for hot dogs
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Sorry Tyler, this was a horrible chili for hot dogs. While I can't say the taste was awful, it certainly was not chili. ... Someone else made a comment something like "used it for sloppy joes". Well, it was a 3-star for sloppy joes. For the life of me, I just find it hard to believe so many rated this 4 or 5 stars. I'm just glad I tried it before serving to anyone and calling it Chili Dog Sauce.Read more
