BEST HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Add hot dogs to cold salted water and bring them up to a boil. Turn them off and keep them warm in the hot water. Serve warm.
• For an added kick of flavor try splitting the boiled dogs almost all the way in half. Open them up and add to a hot pan which a little olive oil has been added. Cook over medium heat until brown on both sides.

HOT DOG CHILI

Steps:

• Cook ground beef and onion in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until meat is no longer pink and onion is soft (about 7-10 minutes). Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat into very small pieces as it cooks. Add minced garlic and continuing cooking and stirring for 1 more minute.
• Add water, tomato sauce, ketchup, paprika, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper.
• Bring to boil; reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes (or until chili thickens slightly).

• Place hot dogs in a large stockpot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn heat off, cover, and let sit.

• Meanwhile, whisk water, ketchup, tomato paste, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and chili powder until smooth.
• Drain ground beef mixture and return to the skillet. Stir in reserved ketchup mixture, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.

• Place hot dogs in buns and top with 1 tablespoon each of mustard, onions, peppers and bacon.
