Categories: Ground Beef, Hot Sandwich, Main Dish

Ingredients

• Chili:
• 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
• cold water
• 1 medium onion , chopped
• 3 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 cups water
• Assembly:
• hot dog , grilled
• hot dog bun , steamed
• plain yellow mustard
• chopped onion

Directions

1. Make the chili—soak ground beef in cold water for 30 minutes and drain; this ensures that the beef will remain free of lumps and cook up into the proper consistency typical of Coney- and Texas-style sauces.

2. Place drained beef in a medium saucepan; add onion and spices, and mix well.

3. Stir in the 2 cups water and place over medium heat.

4. Cook the chili, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour, or until it thickens.

5. The chili may be frozen for up to 3 months.

6. Assembly: place hot dogs in buns and top with mustard, chili, and onion; serve immediately.
