Ingredients
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 medium jar ketchup, about 2 1/2 cups
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 all-beef hot dogs (recommended: Ball Park)
- 4 hot dog rolls
- 1/2 cup grated Cheddar
Instructions
- Put a skillet over medium heat and drizzle in a 2-count of olive oil. When the oil gets hazy, add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until it is 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 more minutes. Stir in the ketchup, chili powder, and mustard and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the chili is cooking, get the grill going. 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. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small
- amount of oil on the paper towel. Then carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick grilling surface.
- Bring a pot of water up to a simmer and parboil the dogs for about 5 minutes. Take them out of the water, pat them dry, and grill them just long enough to mark them. (That’ll give them a grilled flavor too.) Brush the insides of the rolls with olive oil and lay them face down on the grill; cook until toasty. To serve, put a dog in each roll and top with the chili and some Cheddar.

Reviews
We make this all the time. We love this recipe.
I agree with the other reviews that this recipe is more of sloppy Joe mix. I cut the ketchup by 1 cup and added 3 tsp of chili powder and still didn’t help.
I was reading this recipe and was very surprised that this came from him! It sounds disgusting lol! I made homemade chili for my hotdogs, topped it with shredded cheese, diced onions, with a side of homemade French fries, oh and about the hotdogs, I boiled those things….. it’s not hard
Hot garbage. Had to make an account just to 1 star this recipe. Is there a lower rating??
Not my husband’s winter chili recipe, but certainly better than Hormel for hotdogs. I only used 2 cups of ketchup plus extra chili powder and worcestershire sauce. I think 2 1/2 cups ketchup would have been too much. Glad I listened to my gut.
The worst chili I’ve ever taste. Bad recipe!!!
The chili missed the mark.
AMAZING!
Delicious. Will make many times again.
