Ingredients

  • 8 Ball Park(R) Brand Franks
  • 8 Ball Park(R) Hot Dog Buns
  • Yellow mustard
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • Chili:
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 sweet yellow onion, chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic granules
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    To make chili, brown ground beef in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large saucepan for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
  2. 2
    Add onion and red bell pepper, stirring well. Add tomato sauce and seasonings, stirring well.
  3. 3
    Allow mixture to bubble for about 10 minutes, then reduce heat to simmer and cook at least 30 minutes.
  4. 4
    To make hot dogs, cook on your grill or on a grill pan until just seared on the outside.
  5. 5
    Meanwhile, toast buns in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes, taking care not to brown.
  6. 6
    Swipe each bun with mustard, top with chili as desired, followed by grated cheese, onion and, if you're brave, jalapenos.
  7. 7
    If you'd like the cheese all melty, place chili dogs on a foil-lined cookie sheet and run under a hot broiler for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese bubbles.
