Hot Dogs with chili sauce |
If you are a fan of a good old-fashioned hot dog with chili, then this recipe is just what you need. I grew up in a small Western Pennsylvania town, where hot dogs are a staple.
There were several hot dog shops around town, each specializing in its own chili sauce. We moved away from our hometown, and it turns out that hot dogs with chili are one of the foods we miss the most. Now we have a recipe to make our own that reminds us of home.
There are so many garnishes for hot dogs, but I like mine with mustard, onion, and chili. Sometimes I add a nice thin slice of dill pickle on top, and it's oh-so-good.
Ingredients:
- 1 Pound of ground beef
- 1 small onion chopped very fine
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 3/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp sage
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- Sprinkle in some garlic powder and salt (just a little)
- In a medium saucepan brown all of the ingredients
- Add 1 cup of water
- Add 2 tablespoons of cracker meal
- Cook for 1 hour

Interesting combination of spices. Sounds like awesome hot dog chili!
ReplyDeleteWe grew up with this, it was very popular where we lived a small town near Pittsburgh. Thanks Susan for stopping by. Wishing you a wonderful week.
DeleteWell, now I have just discovered you thanks to Martin. I enjoy a hot dog every so often. I am not much of a cook but I am learning. I will give this a try! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis will add a little spice to your hot dogs Ginger, if you try it I hope you enjoy. Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great day!
DeleteI haven't had a chili dog in quite a few years but I'm game now :)
ReplyDeleteGive it a try and I hope you enjoy Susan :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI surely do love a great chili dog! I am intrigued by your recipe because the only liquid ingredient I noted is water. I have never made chili without tomato sauce. I'll have to try that for sure!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of our favorites Cynthia. It's great on hot dogs, hamburgers, and some people back home even load up their french fries with this chili sauce. We try to remember to bring some back with us when we visit, but when we forget we always make our own. Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteWhile this looks good, I've noticed hot dog chili often has finely ground hamburger. Do you think your recipe might be even better if you ground the hamburger again beforehand?
ReplyDeleteYes, it would even be better to finely grind the meat Vincent. The next time I make it I must try that. Thanks.
DeleteAll your hard work is much appreciated. Nobody can stop to admire you. Lots of appreciation. Todas las razas de perros

ReplyDeleteIs this reciep from McKEESPORT?
ReplyDeleteNo, but close it's from New Castle, Conney Island hot dog chili
DeleteHi Sam, I’m from New Castle too. I loved PO chili the best, and the Dog House was pretty good. I have tried to make different chili recipes over the years, always looking for one that comes close. We try to bring it back with us when we visit there or have people bring some to us when they come to visit us. I’ve also been looking for a good recipe for lamb on the rod. Miss that and the Syrian bread. Thanks for sharing. Lisa
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, I hope you enjoy the hot dog chili if you try it. We also bring it back with us when we visit. We only live 2 and half hours away form New Castle, our son still lives there so we visit often. Thanks so much for stopping by.
