Bring The Heat Chili Dog Recipes

CHILI DOGS

Steps:

• Add the ground beef to a small pot over medium heat. Let it cook until you see some fat in the pan then add the onion and garlic. Continue to cook until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add the honey and chili powder to the pot and stir well. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the honey then add the diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Let the chili simmer on low heat while you prepare the dogs and buns.
• Cook the hot dogs and warm the buns over a fire, on a grill, or in a pan on your stove. When they're ready, put a hot dog in each bun and top with ¼ cup of the chili, 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar, and some green onions. (See notes)

BARBECUE BEAN CHILI DOGS

Steps:

• Make the chili: In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together the barbecue sauce, kidney beans, black beans, chili seasoning, brown sugar and mustard. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, make the hot dogs: Set up a grill or preheat a grill pan over medium heat. When ready to start cooking, brush the grates with vegetable oil. Place the hot dogs on the hot oiled grill and cook, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes or until heated through. Toast the buns on the grill, if desired. Put the hot dogs in the buns and top with the chili. Serve hot topped with the chopped onion.

CHILI DOGS

Steps:

• Put a skillet over medium heat and drizzle in a 2-count of olive oil. When the oil gets hazy, add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until it is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with the back of a spoon, and cook until nicely browned, about 10 more minutes. Stir in the ketchup, chili powder, and mustard and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
• While the chili is cooking, get the grill going. Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue and get it very hot. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small
• amount of oil on the paper towel. Then carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick grilling surface.
• Bring a pot of water up to a simmer and parboil the dogs for about 5 minutes. Take them out of the water, pat them dry, and grill them just long enough to mark them. (That'll give them a grilled flavor too.) Brush the insides of the rolls with olive oil and lay them face down on the grill; cook until toasty. To serve, put a dog in each roll and top with the chili and some Cheddar.

CHILI CHEESE DOGS

Steps:

• For the chili: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the beef and garlic and cook, stirring and breaking up into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, until the meat is brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cayenne, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until well combined, about 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and 1/2 cup water to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• For the chili dogs: Preheat a grill or large grill pan to medium. Grill the hot dogs according to the package directions until grill marks appear and the hot dogs are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Working in batches, if necessary, grill the cut side of the buns until golden and toasted, about 1 minute. Build the hot dogs and top each with about 1/4 cup of chili spooned down the length of the hot dog. Sprinkle each with some cheese and serve with ketchup and mustard.

VEGAN CHILI CHEESE DOGS

Steps:

• For the beans: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the onion, season with salt and pepper and cook until lightly golden and soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add in the beans, tomato paste, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin and cayenne and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the beans start to pop. Stir in the water, season with more salt and pepper and turn the heat down to low to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, for the cheese sauce: Place the potatoes and sweet potatoes into a large pot of cold water. Season well with salt and bring to a boil over high heat. When the water reaches a boil, add in the cashews and cook until the potatoes and cashews are tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid then drain the potatoes and cashews and transfer to a high-powered blender. Add the oil, pickled jalapeños, vinegar or pickling liquid, 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast and 2 teaspoons of tomato paste. Season with the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper and salt. Add 1/4 cup of reserved cooking liquid and blend until smooth, adding more water, nutritional yeast, tomato paste and/or salt, if needed. Transfer the cheese sauce to a small pan to keep warm over low heat while you cook the hot dogs.
• For the hot dogs: Cook the hot dogs in a pan over medium-high or on the grill over medium until lightly charred.
• Serve in the buns topped with beans, a good drizzle of the cheese sauce and a sprinkling of green onions, cilantro and pickled jalapeños, if using.
