Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces hot dogs
- 8 pieces hot dog buns
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons diced green onions
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the onions soften.
Transfer the cooked beef mixture to the crock pot. Add crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
Nestle the hot dogs into the chili mixture in the crock pot, ensuring they are partially submerged but not completely buried.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours.
Once the hot dogs are cooked through and the chili is thickened, carefully remove the hot dogs with tongs.
Place each hot dog in a bun and spoon a generous amount of chili on top.
Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and diced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
