Chili Dogs

Ok, so it's not Barbecue, it's my blog though I can do whatever I want, I have just recently discovered the wonder that is the Chili Dog, never even tried 'em before, they just didn't sound good, Boy was I wrong, I was making some taco meat a couple weeks ago and wound up with something that tasted like chili dog sauce so got me thinking about trying to make one, the weather is so nasty outside anyway, not good 'cue weather.

well got out the cast iron dutch oven, threw in 1 1/2 lbs hamburger, 1 1/2 lbs ground pork, and started seasoning it up, covered and let it simmer for about 4 hrs stirring occasionally, probably didn't need that much time, but not doing anything today so just let it stew, well wasn't to happy with the taste, threw some more stuff in and simmer a little longer, much better

















Mustard up a couple buns.


















Boil hot dogs for 4 minutes, all the chilli dog research I have done says this is the perfect time, people get ridiculous, they're just hot dogs, get 'em warm and throw 'em on the buns



















Dump on some chilli sauce, sprinkle on some grated cheddar and enjoy

















Gonna freeze the leftover and whenever I get the chili dog craving got the cure ready

I made the mistake of missing out on this culinary masterpiece my whole life til now, if you too ignore the noble chili dog, just give him a chance, he won't disappoint

You're weird! And how can you never have had a chili dog in your life. I could have told you they were the best thing on earth years ago.
