How Much Ground Beef Is Needed to Make Chili for 8 Hot Dogs
This HOT DOG CHILI is the perfect topping for hot dogs. The beef is so tender and the sauce is slightly sweet. We top our dogs off with this chili sauce, shredded cheddar, and a sprinkling of yellow onions. The perfect hot dog, if you ask me!
Hot dogs are one of my favorite summer dinners.
I mean, let's be honest – it doesn't get much easier than heating up a grill and tossing a hot dog on it.
My daughter and I love a nice grilled hot dog, but the son absolutely refuses to eat them. Something to do with the way his younger sister peeled them before eating them when she was a toddler. He's been traumatized. 😉
My husband doesn't like hot dogs either, unless it's a chili dog and then he. is. down.
He'd eat a dozen, honestly.
Our hot dog chili sauce is super easy to whip up and it just takes dogs to another level.
You might be wondering the difference between hot dog chili and traditional chili…read on to find out why hot dog chili is it's own delicious thing, quite different from the usual chili.
How to Make:
FAQ:
What is the difference between traditional chili and hot dog chili?
Hot dog chili has a sweeter taste and is made with ketchup.
Traditional chili tends to have a spicier flavor and chunkier texture.
Does hot dog chili have beans?
Nope! Hot dog chili is traditionally made with only beef.
Helpful Tip!
Achieving a finer beef texture
- Use a lean ground beef since you won't draining the fat.
- Add the liquid in with the beef and mash with a fork until you have a very fine texture.
- Keep mashing with the fork until the meat is mostly browned and then switch over to a spatula as you normally would.
The texture of the beef is completely up to you!
I almost always brown beef in liquid these days, because I prefer the smaller pieces and more tender beef, but if you prefer a big, chunky, meaty texture just go ahead and brown the beef like you normally would and add the broth in after it's cooked through.
Leftover Hack!
Hot dog chili is sweeter than traditional chili, so you likely won't want to eat a bowl full of it, but it's delicious served over french fries with a bit of cheddar and sliced jalapeno.
