Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 hot dogs
- 8 bacon slices
- 4 cheddar cheese slices
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 15 oz canned chili (with or without beans)
- 1 lb frozen French fries
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 0.5 cup jalapeño slices (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for the fries.
Lay the frozen French fries on a baking sheet and sprinkle them evenly with cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until crispy.
While the fries bake, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
In the same skillet, sear the hot dogs for 4-5 minutes, rotating occasionally until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, season the ground beef with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Divide it into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
In the same skillet, cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side over medium-high heat, or until they reach your desired doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent (about 2-3 minutes). Pour in the canned chili and simmer for 5 minutes to heat through.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly in the oven or a skillet.
Assemble the burgers by placing the beef patty on the bottom bun. Top with a seared hot dog, a generous spoonful of chili, two slices of crispy bacon, ketchup, mustard, and optional jalapeño slices. Cover with the top bun.
Serve the chili dog bacon cheeseburgers hot with a side of fiery fries.
