Bens Chili Dog Recipes

Steps:

• • First, sauté ground beef with green peppers, fresh tomatoes and onions. • Then add our spices. It's a family secret no one outside of the family knows. • Once the veggies are tender and the beef is browned, we add kidney beans and water and that simmer for 10-15 minutes. • Then it's ready...serve it in a bowl with shredded cheese, chopped onions and sometimes sour cream.

Steps:

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