Ingredients

8 jumbo all-beef hot dogs
8 hot dog buns (steamed or toasted)
2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion (diced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
4 cups beef stock
2 6-ounce cans tomato paste
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
2 bay leaves
1 yellow onion (diced)
2 cups medium cheddar cheese (finely shredded)

Steps

1
Preheat. Preheat a heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until it just starts to visibly ripple. I made this chili on my smoker, but you can do it on your stovetop as well.
2
Brown the ground beef. Add the ground beef to the pan, breaking it up with a spatula. Allow to brown on one side before stirring. This isn’t traditional, but I like a little sear on my ground beef.
3
Add the aromatics. Add the onion to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the minced garlic and the blend of spices. Cook for 1-2 more minutes, until fragrant.
4
Add the liquids. Carefully pour in the beef stock, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until all ingredients are well-incorporated.
5
Simmer, prepare the toppings, and cook the hot dogs. Reduce the heat on the chili to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 30-45 minutes. While the chili simmers, shred the cheese, dice the onions, and cook the hot dogs. For an extra special touch, finish the hot dogs in the chili during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
6
Assemble, serve, and enjoy. Add the cooked hot dogs to the buns, then spoon on a healthy scoop of chili. Add diced onions and shredded cheese, serve, and enjoy!
