Chili Cheese Dogs

Here I present my latest; A recipe for barbecued hotdogs topped with old cheddar and then saucy, zesty nacho beef – this is so good that it must be bad… Chilli Cheese Dogs 🙂

Confession:

As a first generation Canadian born to European parents, I’d never had a chili cheese dog.  I’d seen them at fast food restaurants when I visited the states but I thought they’d be gross.

Man was I wrong!

I can’t believe I waited so late in life to enjoy this deliciousness 🙁

You get the delectable flavour of the smoky bbq hotdog, then you get the cheese which melts under the saucy, spicy beef mixture.

To be extra decadent (which I was!), add more cheese and some green onion for a fresh pop.

This is how you make them

Heat a large skillet over high heat and when its hot add the beef, brown until cooked through; season with salt and pepper.

Drain the excess fat (even though it’s extra lean there will be excess fat; drain in the garbage or any empty can, not your drain!).

Return the meat to the pan, still on high heat and add the onion; season lightly with salt and pepper.

After a couple of minutes (the onion will be slightly softened and the meat will start to have some dark yummy crunchy pieces) add in the chili powder, cumin and garlic powder; mix well and let it cook for about 30 – 60 seconds.

Add the beef stock and let it simmer on medium until it thickens.

Taste and adjust seasoning

Now you build your dogs:

Bun, hotdog, some cheddar, beef mixture, more cheddar, green onions

Voila…Chili Cheese Dogs

Yum!
