Chili Cheese Hot Dogs

Chili Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 yellow onion diced
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 6 oz tomato paste
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 cups chicken broth

Hot Dogs:

• 6 hot dog buns
• 6 hot dog franks I use Ball Park all-beef franks, preferably grilled
• 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Directions:

• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in deep pot.
• Add the onion and cook until sweating, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat until well-browned, about 8-10 minutes.
• In another pot add enough water to cover the hot dogs and bring to a boil.
• When the ground beef has finished browning, add tomato paste, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, ginger, and cayenne, and stir together, making sure all the meat is broken up into small pieces.
• Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
• Stirring occasionally, simmer over low heat until chili thickens, about 10-12 minutes.
• While the chili is simmering, add the hot dogs to the water and simmer for about 10 minutes. Do not let the water boil.
• Serve hot dogs in a bun and top with chili then add the shredded cheese.
