Serving Suggestions:
We suggest topping your hot dog with a squirt of mustard, a heaping spoonful of this hot dog chili recipe, a sprinkle of diced onion, and as much shredded cheddar as your heart desires. Chili dog perfection!
HELPFUL TIP!
Achieving a finer beef texture
Use a lean ground beef since you won’t draining the fat.
Add the liquid in with the beef and mash with a fork until you have a very fine texture.
Keep mashing with the fork until the meat is mostly browned and then switch over to a spatula as you normally would.
The texture of the beef is completely up to you!
I almost always brown beef in liquid these days, because I prefer the smaller pieces and more tender beef, but if you prefer a big, chunky, meaty texture just go ahead and brown the beef like you normally would and add the broth in after it’s cooked through.
