Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and incorporate the paste.
Pour in the beef broth, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and water. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cover partially with a lid and let cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add a splash of water if the chili gets too thick.
Serve the chili spooned over hot dogs in buns, garnished with diced onions and shredded cheese, if desired, for an authentic Coney Island experience.
