Instructions
For the Hot Dog Chili
- Using a medium-sized Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the diced onion and garlic. Saute until onions are soft and slightly translucent (~6-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, coriander, paprika, oregano, tomato paste, soy sauce and sugar. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add chicken stock and ground beef. Use a whisk to break up ground beef into pea-sized (or smaller) pieces. (Tip: Make sure beef is broken up into uniformly-sized pieces.) Bring mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low and cover pot; cook for 75 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add hot sauce and bourbon; simmer (lid removed) over medium heat until chili has thickened.
For the Hot Dogs
- Grill hotdogs on medium-high heat until cooked.
- Place the slices of Texas toast on the grill for 1-2 minutes (optional).
- Assemble hotdogs with chili, cheese and diced onions.
Notes
