We were having a tailgate party and I knew we needed chili dogs. I wanted to do a hot dog bar with all the fixings. But I knew that would take a whole lot of those little cans of hot dog chili. So I was in search of the perfect hot dog chili recipe. This one is great. I might have to make up another big batch to put in the freezer.
This reheated really well in the crock pot on gameday.
I made a couple recipes of this at one time but I am going to share with you what it takes for only one recipe. So you will see large amounts that might not look right with what I am telling you.
I decided to do all the seasonings at one time in a small bowl. It's how they do it on the cooking shows. 1 Tablespoons dried onions.
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cups water
12 oz chicken stock
4 oz tomato paste
All the ingredients are in the pot. I was worried because it was so thin. By the way I forgot to take a picture of 1 lb of ground beef. Now I will tell you this. I browned my ground beef. The recipe said to put the unbrowned ground beef in with the broth and water and cook. I don't know about you but I like to drain the fat off the beef. So I guess that is how I forgot to take the picture.
This is after cooking for 2 hours. It will thicken up even more if you make it ahead of time and then reheat. It smelled wonderful and filled the house. Now for another tip. A friend of mine told me what a friend of hers does with her chili dog sauce. She puts the ground beef in the blender after it is browned and makes it very small pieces. I will do that next time. I had some left over and I have frozen it in small batches for later. I may never buy hot dog chili again.
