When it’s time for a party or holiday cookout, I’ll always make some hot dog chili sauce and it would be the most sought after dish every single time. The kids would love to have them on their hot dog, hamburger (sloppy but tasty though), or even over a basket of chips. Adults love them too, this is just a no-fail recipe that I would make over and over again.
You’d probably eaten chili a thousand times, or have that canned chili at home. But making them yourself is a lot more fun, tasty, and suit to your taste buds. Just ground beef with some seasoning, that’s it. You could do them on the stove, slow cooker, whatever will work. If you like them spicy, add more chili. Like them runny, re-grind the beef and add extra broth. Want them chunky, skip the soaking step. Personally, I just sought of like them somewhere in between.
Don’t forget to make them in a large batch, these will not last so save some in your fridge.
