Ingredients

Chili Sauce

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion diced, divided
  • 2 Tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 Tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon celery salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard + more for topping
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Assembly

  • 8 hot dog buns
  • 8 hot dogs
  • Shredded cheese
  • Finely diced onion
  • Yellow mustard for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Wrap hot dog buns in foil.
  • Brown the ground beef with half of the chopped onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks until no longer pink and the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add in the chili powder, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and celery salt. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add tomato sauce, water, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes until thickened. Add additional water, if needed, if the mixture becomes too thick.
  • While the sauce simmers, wrap the hot dog buns in foil and place them in the oven to heat through for about 10 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the hot dogs and cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through.
  • To assemble, place a hot dog in each on the warmed buns and top with the chili. Sprinkle shredded cheese and finely diced onion on top, then finish with a squirt of yellow mustard. Serve immediately.
