  • Sometimes the chili sauce is called coney sauce.

How to Make Homemade Hot Dog Chili

This recipe has quite a few ingredients though you will find that almost all of the ingredients are right in your cupboard!

Ingredients

chili, onion, and garlic powder, brown sugar, tomato sauce, Worcestershire, mustard, ketchup.
  • Ground beef – I like to use a fatty ground beef for this recipe (10-20%fat)! Gives the sauce a great flavor.
  • Ketchup – add sweetness and more tomato flavor
  • Canned tomato sauce – This is the base for the sauce
  • Water – helps thin the sauce out
  • White onion – save some for topping the chili dogs if desired.
  • Seasonings – salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder
  • Worcestershire sauce – a secret ingredeint that adds tang and beefy flavor
  • Mustard – adds a tanginess and what is a hot dog without a little mustard?
  • Brown sugar – just a touch to sweeten the sauce.

Step by Step Directions

Step 1 – Add the ground beef to a skillet on the stovetop.

Step 2 – Cook over medium-high heat. The trick to good hot dog chili is to crumble the meat extra small with your spatula.

Step 4– Add remaining ingredients and stir. Cover and cook on high for 1.5 hours or low for 3 hours. Stir this often, or it will burn.
