Hot dog chili

[Rip 145]

Occasionally I have a craving flung on me for a good old fashioned hot dog  (all the way with slaw). Store bought chili just doesn't cut it. I found this recipe that reminds me of the chili on hot dogs I grew up eating and loving. I basically followed the recipe except for substituting bacon grease for Olive Oil (why not?) and I cooked it on the Bubba Keg with some Pecan chunks for a little delicious smoke flavor.
Cooking times took a little longer on the grill. But it was a fine afternoon.

 

 

 

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• water
• 1 medium Vidalia onion or sweet onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely diced
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups ketchup
• 1 Tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

 

Instructions

1. Place lean ground beef in a bowl and cover with water. Use a wooden spoon or your hands to break up the beef. Set aside.
2. Over medium heat, saute diced onion and garlic in olive oil in a large saute pan or Dutch oven.
3. Once the onion and garlic are soft, add the ground beef and water to the pan. Cook about 5 minutes, until the beef is no longer pink on the outside.
4. Add ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, chili powder and Worcestershire sauce
5. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture has thickened and reduced and the beef is cooked through .......(Author: Atta Girl Amy)
