Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 beef hot dogs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion, diced
- 0.5 pound ground beef
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons canned tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
- 1 tablespoon jalapeño slices, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the chili is simmering, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Add the beef hot dogs to the grill pan and cook until they are heated through and have grill marks, about 5 minutes, turning occasionally.
To assemble, place each hot dog on a plate and top generously with the chili.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili to allow it to melt slightly.
Garnish with sliced green onions and jalapeño slices, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb chili cheese hot dog.
