Chilidogwraps Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches.
• Soften tortillas as directed on package.
• Place 1 hot dog and 3 T chili on each tortilla.
• Roll up tortillas; place seam side down in baking dish.
• Spoon salsa over tortillas.
• Cover and bake 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake uncovered about 5 minutes longer until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Put a skillet over medium heat and drizzle in a 2-count of olive oil. When the oil gets hazy, add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until it is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with the back of a spoon, and cook until nicely browned, about 10 more minutes. Stir in the ketchup, chili powder, and mustard and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
• While the chili is cooking, get the grill going. Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue and get it very hot. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small
• amount of oil on the paper towel. Then carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick grilling surface.
• Bring a pot of water up to a simmer and parboil the dogs for about 5 minutes. Take them out of the water, pat them dry, and grill them just long enough to mark them. (That'll give them a grilled flavor too.) Brush the insides of the rolls with olive oil and lay them face down on the grill; cook until toasty. To serve, put a dog in each roll and top with the chili and some Cheddar.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Brown the franks in a small skillet over medium heat. Lightly toast the buns under the broiler. Put the franks on the buns and spoon on a bunch of chili. Add the cheese all over the top, then heat in the microwave to melt the cheese, 25 to 35 seconds. (Or if you're using an ovensafe plate, place it under a low broiler until the cheese melts, about 1 minute.) Sprinkle with the onion and dive in.
• In a large, heavy pot, brown the ground beef with the garlic over medium heat until the beef is totally cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off most of the excess fat, leaving a little behind for moisture and flavor. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and cayenne. Stir together well, cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally; if the liquid level seems low, add up to 1 cup water to keep it from burning.
• After an hour, stir in the kidney and pinto beans. In a small bowl, combine the masa harina with 1/2 cup water and stir together with a fork until it's smooth. Pour the masa mixture into the chili. Stir together well, then taste the chili and adjust the seasonings. Simmer the chili for another 10 minutes to thicken, then turn off the heat and let it cool.
• Fill freezer bags with 2-cup portions and freeze them flat for easy stacking (or freeze in other freezer-safe containers).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches.
• Soften tortillas as directed on package.
• Place 1 hot dog and 3 T chili on each tortilla.
• Roll up tortillas; place seam side down in baking dish.
• Spoon salsa over tortillas.
• Cover and bake 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake uncovered about 5 minutes longer until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Some of the prep can be done the day before, to reduce the prep time on the day of cooking.
• 1. Render 1 ½ cup of beef suet.
• 2. Prepare and finely grind beef heart in food processor.
• 3. Finely regrind ground round in food processor.
• Cool and refrigerate rendered suet and reground beef (heart and round).
• On preparation day:.
• Please note, there is a LOT of simmering and stirring going on during the cooking phase. It only enhances the taste of the sauce! BE PATIENT!
• In very large stock pot, melt 1 ½ cups of rendered suet. Add finely ground beef heart and ground round. Brown beef until done.
• We found it beneficial to brown the beef in two parts. Remove the browned beef into separate bowl, and RE-MINCE browned beef, still warm, with retained fat and liquids, in a food processor. RE-MINCE in equal parts, until a rough paste is formed. Return minced beef to pot, with remaining fats and liquids. Consistency should be of a "rough paste". Rice sized bits and smaller, with retained liquids and fats is perfect. Reserve remaining melted fats for use in making the roux.
• Add beef stock/broth. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring often. Add minced/pureed onion and minced garlic. Simmer another 20 minutes, stirring often.
• Add tomato paste and prepared mustard. Simmer 10 minutes, stirring often. Purists will contend that there should be NO tomato component to the sauce. I strongly disagree, and could not imagine what the sauce would taste like without it. It is a subtle component, and one that I feel is necessary. Use your own judgment here.
• Now it's time to add the spices.
• NOTE: We did NOT use a boat motor blender. We used a hand-cranked hand mixer instead. It allows for a more even disbursement of spices, without further reducing the consistency of the beef.
• Add the paprika, chili powder and curry powder, and the bottle of beer. Use the hand blender to incorporate the spices. Simmer another 15 minutes, stirring often.
• Add the cumin, kosher salt, black pepper, and REDHOT sauce. Use the hand blender to incorporate the spices. Simmer another 10 minutes, stirring often.
• Throughout this process, we added the water in varying amounts, totaling 1 ¼ cup. Add the additional water when the sauce seems to get a bit too thick, perhaps ¼ cup at a time. Continue to simmer, stirring often.
• Make the roux. Use the retained fats and flour in equal proportions. Use medium heat, stirring constantly, until a rich caramel color is obtained. Add roux to sauce, and mix thoroughly. Continue to simmer, stirring often.
• At this point, PURISTS can STOP. Continue to simmer to your heart's content, stirring often. It could be from 1 hour to 8 hours. Put sauce in a slow-cooker if desired, and continue cooking on low for hours. Here is where time only improves the taste of the sauce. The longer you let it simmer, the better. If you choose to stop and refrigerate the sauce overnight, and begin re-simmering the next day, so much the better.
• Add cracker meal as necessary, stirring often, until desired sauce consistency is obtained.
• Serve sauce over prepared Kogel dogs and Aunt Millie's buns, topping with onions and mustard to taste.
• ENJOY!
• *****************************.
• As for my family, we PREFER beans in our chili sauce. Like it or not, we added them, and we really enjoyed the end result.
• As before, some prep can be done the evening before.
• Directions:.
• Cover dried beans with enough water to cover by 2", and allow to soak overnight.
• Drain the soaking liquids. Rinse beans twice with fresh water.
• Recover beans with enough water to cover by 2", and heat to a low boil. Reduce to a simmer, and simmer 1 ½ - 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Turn off beans, and allow to cool.
• Once sauce is finished as outlined above, add the cooked beans along with 2 cups +/- of the "bean stock". Continue to simmer, stirring often.
• Add cracker meal as necessary, stirring often, until desired sauce consistency is obtained.
• Serve sauce over prepared Kogel dogs and Aunt Millie's buns, topping with onions and mustard to taste.
• ENJOY!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
• Heat hot dogs according to package directions. Arrange hot dog buns in baking dish, cut side up. Place hot dogs in buns. Top with chili. Sprinkle with cheese. Tent pan with foil.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Cook hot dogs according to package. I make mine in the microwave when cooking this recipe but it is more time consuming this one because I make one at a time.
• Warm chili in microwave until hot.
• Warm wraps in microwave according to package directions.
• Place one hot dog, chili and cheddar cheese (as much as you like - we like a lot of both) in a wrap. Add onions if desired. Serve.
