Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 8 pieces hot dogs
• 8 pieces hot dog buns
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 0.25 cup diced white onions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the browned beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.

Step 4

Pour in the beef broth, ketchup, and yellow mustard. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Season the mixture with chili powder, paprika, and ground cumin. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the chili for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

While the chili is simmering, preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Grill the hot dogs for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they have grill marks and are heated through.

Step 8

Toast the hot dog buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes for added texture and flavor (optional).

Step 9

Place each grilled hot dog into a bun. Spoon a generous amount of the chili over each hot dog.

Step 10

Top with shredded cheddar cheese and diced white onions, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
